Paint was eventually matched from the original as all the research and results my painter got back were a lot darker than the original so we had the colour matched from the original side panel and the result was perfect.
Looking good Thumbs Up

Hi All, well 8 months later and just need fuel and number plate. Really enjoyed the build with the intentions of wishing to end up with a very nice bike that i would be please to take anywhere! didn't want to go the concourse route as it gets too demanding/picky with what is exactly right or original :smt102 against what is just very nice! IMO. So basics of the build to strip to bare frame and start again, Frame/swing arm etc powder coated, Engine rebuilt by Gary Clarke, Carbs refurbed by Mark Tangoman, Clocks refurbished by Alan, exhaust and parts re-chromed, everything down to nuts and bolts either replaced or refurbished and it goes on and on, but a big thanks to ALL who have helped and guided me along the way. The finished result is a bike that looks like its just rolled off the boat from Japan in 1974!. :smt007 Hopefully will be riding it at the weekend. Thumbs Up

Hi Jim, bike looks fantastic but I think the horn is fitted upside down…. compare it to the photo of the blue bike earlier in the thread.

All you need to do now is add a couple of cylinders and it's worth £60k :shock:
