[Mick D]

Well done. That is beautiful. Probably even more exiting than coming home with the latest model. You must be hangin to get your boots and helmet on.

Thats looking awesome smed  bloody good effort especially considering what you started with 

Ive had this one for a few years and never ridden the bloody thing  Its up for a make over , its mechanicaly good but Farkin ugly and at the last count 165 different shades of red / pink 



What really shits me with it is the previous owner had the motor rebuilt by a top bloke over here who went to the trouble of powdercoating the crankcases and clutch cover , mag cover but then bolted back on the shitty cylinder and different shade head FFS 

How hard would it be to have vapour blasted ( as per smeds) or powdercoated / painted the top end before reassembly . Now its gotta come apart again to get finished properly .

If mine looks half as good as yours Smed i will be a very happy Honda hoarder 

Can i ask what brake stay arm you are using ? it looks great , way better than the original

Beautiful....and not a black rim in sight  Wink Grin Grin

Or dodgy 83 model forks with the disc brackets sawn off It's a really nice little Honda Smed.

[jerry]

I see a lot of potential there Bill, Simons forks, Fox shocks. Piss that seat cover off vapour blast the motor and then leave it like that I reckon. Don't chrome the pipe or get black rims either. J

[Hardo]

Full Creds Smed. Nicely done mate.

Left side kickstart.... euuuchh....
