Hi and welcome

Just around the corner from you in Swindon

Restoring a CB400f at the moment

Won’t be original but will have a few twists to it as I think original restorations are overrated

A way to go yet but slow and sure but hope it take less than the 3 years it took to restore the 1981 RD350LC that’s it’s stable mate




Best wishes and stay safe Al

Nice LC,I restored the 500/4  back to original many years ago with NOS parts before the prices went through the roof,ive even got a brand new old stock bank of Carbs sitting in a box awaiting fitting when i get round to the engine rebuild.
