Hey Chopstar,
                   that's an awesome looking bike. :o :o

Quick question. Other than looking cool, why the drilled holes in the rear drum?

Later

Jako,

they are "Speed Holes", used to lighten up the bike as much as possible.  Oh yeah, they look freakin' awesome to boot! ;D

My camera total sux balls for indoor pics... need to get this thing out in the sun for some good pics.

PS. I need an exhaust spigot (for an early CB500) - somehow I lost one during this complete restoration - go figure (got my pipes today) - not bad though, its the only thing I've lost during the 1 year project. I'd certainly appreciate the help for a SOHC brother - PM me if you've got one.

Hurry up and get that seat installed.... ;)

Again, great work.  I'm sure somebody has an exhaust spigot they can part with.

I always love seeing these bikes indoors on carpet....makes me chuckle.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
