Great Resto you did there!
With so many affordable Project bikes on F.B. market place in Indy you should make a killing in a resto business.
Thanks man, I just do them as a hobby. I learned long ago its too hard to make money restoring them, this was my first complete restore. I had some luck flipping 1st gen Honda Magnas years ago because I got good at fixing the inherent problems they have like cams/rockers that wear prematurely and dirty carbs that are some of the hardest to remove and reinstall that I have seen. Seems a lot of people leave them for dead at that point.

Roger those carbs!  :P
That's a beautiful job you've done there.
These bikes are 100% as useful a motorcycle as they were in the 1970s, once restored. And they last as long, too!
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Hoosier, if you have mastered the art of the first gen V4 Honda, you have some very fine mechanical skills.  Them things are tricky, but they reward their masters so richly!
If it works good, it looks good...

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I appreciate it.

Could I get a mod to please move this to the "Completed Builds" thread? I will be starting my next project thread with a barebones K4 soon.
