 You put a lot of money into it and God knows how many hours of labor of love  :) But your efforts have sure paid off. Excellent job.

That is a perfect example restoration and tasteful personalization. Where did u get those pipes?

Thanks guys, just wanted to share it.
I wanted to go almost stock.

some facts:
I did a complete engine rebuild.
Wiseco 836ccm
Webcam Camshaft 63a
Titanium valve retainers
Harder valve springs
head work
new engine primary rubbers
new fork tubes
new HM300 (what a sound)
new fenders, rims, spokes and many more Honda parts.
powder coated frame
a couple of parts has been rechromed (brake pedal, header stars,....)

Don't ask about the costs, I don't know it and I don't like to know it.
You can't pay the fun on it, it's a great and strong runner.
I have stored every original part in case i want to go stock.
Next project will start in a few weeks, I try to build a cafe with many many selfmade parts,
like a 4in4 exhaust, seat and so on.
Base is an early K2 (end of 71)

BTW, pipes and many more parts has been ordered from CMSNL.
( I love their service and fast shipment)

Thanks to my buddy in San Diego, ...he delivered me so many parts (like all Honda engine bolts and many more)
from the USA,....lucky guys, a lot of OEM parts are much more cheaper than in Europe.

(I regret, that I removed the Sissy bar, it was welded on the frame.  ::) )

I have looked at these pictures several times and I just cannot get over just how nice that bike is.  Very tasteful restomod.  Excellent workmanship.  Absolutely stunning. 

If my bike is Mary Ann then your bike is Ginger...   :D

Bikes like yours are what inspires me to take on my own restomod project.
