AndyH and Cam,

Don't be shy.  If possible, post a brief summary of your project build -- what you started with, what your goal was, what work you did, what mods/upgrades did you make, what specialty work and parts did you incorporate, who helped you along the way, etc. -- and some additional photos.  These were the only finished ones I could find of your bikes.

I was bummed out to see that Andy H has listed his beautiful, reverse color scheme CB500K1 for sale.  For those in or near Perth, Australia, this is a beautiful bike to add to your garage.

Here's a list of the work Andy did on the bike:

"Since purchasing, I’ve replaced the front fender, replaced the plastic inner rear mudguard, new rear blinker mounts, repro side covers (better than OEM!), refurbished/chromed fork ears, new D.I.D. rims and cad-plated spokes, new handlebars (hidden wires), added OEM rear footpegs, new wiring loom, replaced 2.5” clocks with OEM clocks (colour matched dials), re-covered the genuine seat and a whole lot more I can’t think of just now!!"

Two fantastic looking bikes this month, great job guys.

However, for once, it was a very easy decision.

This is a pretty tight poll, so far.  As it stands right now, only 2 votes separate the bikes.

Looks like you've beat me to the punch Don!!

There's not really a lot more to say about the bike.  It was my 1st attempt at a restoration, and with the help of many folk on this forum I learnt a heap about not only the "how to" but also about SOHC Hondas!

As Don has pointed out, the bike is for sale, but if I don't get any serious offers I'm quite happy to keep it (at least for the time being)!

2 days left to vote and only 1 vote separates the two bikes!
