One of my favorite bikes and absolutely my favorite Honda.

The first one was probably a new replacement frame or built entirely from a new frame. Honda didn't stamp numbers in new frames. It was a dealer responsibility that most Honda dealers apparently ignored. You got a great deal on both of them.

Great job!

Can't make it this year. Headed to the farm in Arkansas that weekend.

You might consider recessing that hitch and chain attachments points. Your shins will thank you! I cussed my Dodge Ram two or three times a day until I recessed the offending shin busters. I do love the the bumper.

I'm going to be 72 in a few months, stand 5'6" and weigh about 163. That's why I no longer pick up engines of any kind and sit them in the frame. Lay the engine on it's side. Fit the bare frame over the engine. Fit a few bolts to hold the engine. I use my motorcycle jack to sit it back up...

That is great!

I lay the engines on their side and place the bare frame over them. That's a nice piece of equipment but I really can't justify the time/expense of building something I would rarely use.

Nice airbox mod!

Harbor Freight has the 5 pound vibratory tumbler on close out for $59 and change. I picked one up today and so far it is doing good cleaning some 65 year old hardware. Be sure to check the website before heading to a HF store. Not all stores have them...

Happy there was no major damage. Tell your Doctor you won't need a stress test for a while.

I can get it done in Arkansas via the 25 year antique cycle rule. The frame number has to be clean (no record) according to CycleVin site. Pretty easy and fairly cheap but takes a while to get the title.

Best of luck with your surgeries.

Nice change up. If the Vermont thing doesn't work, let me know before the end of April.

Nothing beats hands on learning!
