Kinda redundant, but wow, that is absolutely beautiful.   Never actually seen a green one in person, but I think my next project (if I can ever find one!) will be green.
Well done Otto, well done.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

HONDASEVEN: The bark of the HM300's is worth the price of admission. I find myself smiling at the girgle and pop of every shift... ;D

CBCAFE: Never drove the bike before the restore... Put the Synthetic 15W-50 per Hondaman's suggestion. Shifting is crisp.. Neutral is a VERY small shift up from 1st.. Sometimes appears to be missing... it's not... ::) That takes some getting use too.. I am not real good at it yet..

Read Replica: my wife picked the plate for me... Birthday present...  ( I'll be 50 in 19 days), in fact, she bought me the HM300 set-up and new AVON Road Riders too!
