I started with this in Feb 2015

Which them became these items, no2 cylinder had water inside which required a rebore to 836cc, replaced every seal and bearing, internal and external, respoked and rechromed rear wheel, front was in good condition, wet blasted engine, powder coat frame and tank painted.

In the shed
1999 ST1100A
1971 CB750K2
1980 XV750
1977 GL1000

York,WA

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
I believe in the "hereafter", every time I go to the shed I have to think "what am I here after"

Well done young fella.

Great colour and nice to see all those parts off the floor finally.

Got any spare parts for a 1977 CB750K7 that has been sitting for 6+ years?
 
I think I will keep it for my retirement project but I'm not as dedicated as you are.

Top job on a bike that's really worth restoring!    :clap
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
