I'm not into the polished tank and swingarm and not a fan of converting the single shock frame back to twin shock...

If this doesn't get Firko out of hospital and back in front of his keyboard then nothing will... except maybe mentioning 'Dutch Twinshock'...  :D

You Betcha ;D. Predictably, I think that bike is a disgrace, a de-engineered piece of shiny crap. ;)

I have the power!!!  ;)  I knew mentioning 'Dutch TwinShocks' would work - who would have thought it?  :o 

If you ever end up back in ICU [heaven forbid], don't worry about a defibrillator, just get the Doctor to scream... 'Dutch TwinShocks' and it will get him back and fighting in a heartbeat...  ;D

Good to have you back Uncle Firko!!!

Hope you are feeling better...

Weapon is right KB.  It's one of the special race versions ... you can tell by the backwards honda logo on the LH Side of the tank  ;D

All jokes aside though, it does look kinda cool IMHO

I've got a similar low mileage 1958 Honda C77 305cc engine that I've been looking to use in a project for years. I initially had it in a Bultaco M11  frame....nah, then in my Cotton Cobra...nah for different reasons and then I tried it in an American Eagle frame which was also rejected. It'd make a great pre '60 project but finding a suitable frame is the challenge.
