Started work on this CBX,looks good visually but needs work

 

[Gunk]

Good stuff Bill, your work is always first class, really looking forward to seeing this one come together.

 

[MrPickwick]

Its lying about in parts now matey, got a set of VF750 forks, which I can use the stanchions from

Ah, I'm keen on following this. So inspiring are these restoration threads.

Sadly, I can not attempt such 'room necessary' projects, unless someone with a nice big double garage would care to adopt me.

:rotfl:I can only walk forward, if I step backward I break something:grin

Without wishing to derail this restoration thread, it is relevant that I'm just about to step outside and set up my 'pop up technical station.' Pics later!:wink

In summer, yes. But today there's was rain forecast so I just had the quick version. OEM seat cowl on and clear Puig tank pad.

I have a proper can hangar en-route so I can remove the hideous pillion peg!

Bloody hell.

There's no satisfying anyone on here. Can only be an 'early' Blade, no fuel injection, and now we have colour fanatics.:frown

I'm gunna buy me one of those CBX 750 things, and then I'll be right.

Think I'll turn it into a street fighter - woops, cafe racer - paint it red and then I'll get some 'likes'.:grin:grin

Still not sure about the headlamp cover on your Erion

It's a mean look!:grin

Agree with you though, and far from original. You're probably aware they're held on only by a few dabs of velcro. I'll have it off for MoT, but in the meantime it can catch the summer insects!

 

[MrPickwick]

Few more bits done,that Shock weighs a ton, carbs back on

 

[Gunk]

What are your plans for the body work Bill, are you replacing the original decals?

Possibly so, got the log book a bit late ,it stated colour as Red , so might go back to that, decals I saw here, but might get the fairing sprayed professionally, but being a cheapskate that could change:wink

[MrPickwick]

Bit more on the bike today , new Slave and Master Clutch Kits, Forks out and ready for stripping down

 

[Gunk]

You can’t beat a day fiddle arsing around with bikes. I’ve spent most of the afternoon in the garage, it’s always good for the soul.

 

[MrPickwick]

Never did show this thing finished off ,so here's the work done, glad to see the back of it, had to strip the engine ,new rings and pistons (blow by)
