Stunning collection, and thanks for sharing. Welcome to the forums!

A friend of mine has 2 Honda 600's. He got them both from Kalispell, Montana. Rust free, one blue, and the other yellow. They run well too!

Dr. V,

  Is that your personal bike or is that one you just did for the museum?  You must have a wealth of good contacts and/or outstanding skills.  That's the nicest one I've ever seen.  The ones I see on the net are always pretty shabby, no offense to the original poster.
  And how in the world did you track down that mudflap?

Edit:

 So it seems you work for the museum.  What a "dream" job!!  I envy you sir!  Kudos in your efforts in keeping a little bit of Soichiro alive.

Hey Fastbro

Thanks for your kind words! I am one of three "Restoration Specialists" at The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Birmingham, Alabama.

www.barbermuseum.org

The 53 Dream you see was done by me for the Museum. Well over a year of full time work went into the bike. It was a real pile before we started on the project. We had to make many of the parts you see by hand. Some of the more interesting bits we made are; The chrome trim, the rear grab rail, the rear rack, the center stand, the rear fender, two of the transmission gears, the piston, the valves, the control cables, the entire exhaust system, the complete wiring harness, and yes, the mud flap. The mud flap was cut on our Omax waterjet machine, as was the "Honda" badge that we attached to it. Kinda cool huh?

I rode the bike for the first time about three weeks ago. Just about brought tears to my eyes.

Take care my friend!

Denis
