Ok, been "lurking in the closet" long enough, i have my build over at Hondatwins, but figured it's about time i share on here too. Great stuff on this site too, just a bit more broad.
So I'm a bit a ways into my build and hopefully almost done. at least with my initial restoration. so here's the condensed version of a build log. for more progress etc check out my full thread history over at: http://www.hondatwins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7290
but I'll be updating on both sites in the future.
Bike the day i got her:
Soon after brought down to frame, you know the usual lol:
Motor after soda blasting and paint:
Frame after same treatment:
and again tank after blasting, i had picked up a replacement tank since the one given with the bike from the PO was off a 350 something and didn't quite fit, i wanted the original tank.
wheels getting the same treatment, everything getting some love pretty much.
my very happy cold engine first compression reading:
her first start up, midway through re-assembly
and finally caught up, to where she's at now, in the middle of my seat fabrication, it's gonna be a carbon fiber seat. progress on that will be coming soon i hope.
Future plans include a BCR euro light in carbon, some electrical upgrades including stator, leds and ignition. and figuring out final exhaust. And probably going to be polishing some bits like the side covers.
Thanks for looking, feedback welcome.
