Done. Sorted. Happy. Very happy!! For those interested, the handle bars just required a slightly heavier hand (read: hammer) Mods: feel free to move this to the resto forum, i didnt see it till after i posted.

Thats awesome.

Got the finishing touches done today and even took it down to the park of a couple of photo's (which sadly didnt turn out that well) On the quick run down to the park, I noticed two things. 1. My handlebars dont seem to be straight anymore. How the hell did that happen? Any ideas on...

Re: 1965* Honda C100 Cub (Absorbing the Bumps) Its only a cub. You can count the number of parts on one hand.

Collaborate and listen?

I actually bought a stack of parts off that very seller for an A100 I started (and never finished) a couple of years ago. Although his engrish was f*kn awful, and he could be a little slack answering emails, I found him pretty decent to deal with. Certainly not the worst Ive dealt with.

Re: 1965* Honda C100 Cub (Absorbing the Bumps) Boo is the guy you want to get hold of. He rides a C100 himself and is a walking encyclopaedia of Cubs. Also, for some inspiration, go look for the supercub group on flickr

I find them 'ok' for at least learning the theory.

Nicely done. I have a restored '83 750. It's my baby :)

I'm about to start learning how to weld too (and for the same reasons, small bike bits etc). I'm gonna start with a small/cheap gas/gasless mig and go from there. I've also been told to go do a course, however I also tend to 'learn by doing', and also have a few mates that are willing to show me...

Thanks guys - here is a quick update: I managed to get ZERO sleep on Sunday night, so I called in absent from work and slept. By about 1 pm, there was no more sleep to be had so I wandered out to the garage. First job was to get the bike running properly. I had a sneaking suspicion it was to do...

Re: 1965* Honda C100 Cub (Absorbing the Bumps) Very nicely done mate. Two things - try and find a pre-compiled bolt kit. It was the best thing I did when it cam to reassembly time. Nothing worse than trying to get rusty old screws/bolts back it. And it was the bike look soooo much nicer when...

What an amazing little beast. She looks a million bucks. You should be very proud.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, I've always loved these bikes. As a mate once said, "They're such a noble little bike'. A mate of mine inherited it from his father in law. He got it running but then lost interest, so I bought it from him. They seem pretty common in the UK and obviously like...

Not a Cafe, but thought you guys might still like it. I've finally got to the end of my Cub resto Build story here: http://ozsupercub.blogspot.com.au

You started the bike with no pipes at all? Well, here's hoping all the valves stayed straight :-\

Has the price of SR500's gone completely mental else where as well as Oz too?

Actually - you're right... nuts *sigh*
