After and before attached. I just used acetone and a couple bolts/nuts.

Can’t afford to mess up paint. It’s in real good condition for a 40 year old bike. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Sounds good! Thank you. I will try acetone. BTW. I found some MEK in the garage, wondering if I should attempt it with this. Otherwise if Acetone is safer I don't mind spending few bucks.

With acetone will I hurt the paint? + do i need to completely fill the tank, that's 2.5 gallons acetone. Disposing of that stuff is another story. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

78 CB125s I have no problem running the bike, everything is working. Last winter I neglected the thing and didn't fill up the tank during storage. Well... it rusted. At least that's what I thought. The interior was all brown speckled just like rust. Filled the whole thing with Evapo-Rust. No...

it is the same. rims need 36 holes but worried about the angles of the spoke hols on the rims being at an incorrect place.

Beautiful work!!! Two of my favorite Honda bikes. dream of owning the cb400f someday.

What do you guys do for some bikes (honda's in this case) that have plastic film over fork tubes and over brake / clutch lever. they are extremely faded don't know how to remove them without damaging the material underneath.

Update: nighthawk was no go, guy had an offer. Checked out the 750 SS, I wasn't too comfortable with it, felt a bit high and the bike needed more work than I could give it. Which explained the price. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

That's good to know. The nighthawk I found is also a 750 from 95 and even cheaper. I just can't stand how they look. I thought about getting the RC42 tank that belongs to the eu/jp bikes in the images above and oh my! They are rare and go for 1k a pop. Cheapest I found was ~$700. At that point...
