Gearshifter to push-pull selector through bulkhead. Cheer up, the young guys are back on big Hondas again now. Really pisses you off when you have spent half a day polishing it, but I am sure the guys in the helicopter got a great laugh out of it. As you can clearly see it was time to get it the hell out of there!
New old stock instruments and steering wheel, Restored dashboard panel.
Horn, Carburetor, Diaphram, Wiper motor.

It is the condition in which nobody in the world is lost.
Note rear leaf springs. Seats original vinyl. No  cover in boot was standard.
The pump forced lubrication system with two seperate filters enables the engine to move at such high speeds without under wear. The pump forced lubrication system with two seperate filters enables the engine to move at such high speeds without under wear.
Sorry about the poor quality but at that time I only had a small pocket Kodak.
The quantum leap in technology was staggering.
She takes some looking after but she is well worth it. No  cover in boot was standard. I slowly painted things and rebuilt the engine and it turned out to be a pretty good looking bike.
Superb performance and superior reliability are the result.
I had an English looking cafe-racer from the seventees in mind. New Laminated windscreen.
But it sure is more fun.
Body hugging adjustable bucket seats and quite sufficient legroom for relaxed touring without tiring.
