Absolutely top notch work.


Am I allowed to put some input in? ( I know I am new, but I've built so many custom bikes it's silly!)


I was going to mention the chain but was pipped to the post on that one!


The airbox on the Honda has to come out before the engine and carbs can be removed, so that would normally be sitting outside the frame.


The other thing Is, the throttle cables are normally removed from the carb end when doing engine out work, and left ha going from the handlebars. It's easier to undo two nuts and remove the cable at the carb than it is to undo the whole right hand switchgear, disconnect the cable, then unthread it while trying to remove the engine.


Don't shout at me, as that's NOT criticism on your model. Just what we do in real life.


I LOVE the toolbox and the small posters, where on earth did you get them??

All input is welcome (its how we improve) I won't be changing the cables from the carbs but do see your point (should have thought of it before) like you, only in my youth, I used to customize bikes. I will though remove the airbox, thanks for pointing it out, trouble is its been soooooooo long since I worked on a bike you forget, I was riding up till 3 yrs ago Triumph Trophy 900, but used to send it to the garage for work to be done. Was made to stop by my missus "they are so dangerous " tbh all the blokes I rode with, who stayed on bikes are dead now (most of them due to car drivers errors)

Lovely work mate

[Guest]

Thanks guys Dave sorry I didnt answer your question on the previous post. The posters were pics form the internet i looked up motorcycle garage posters from the 1980s and those are some of what came up, I just copied and pasted them to my pc then reduced them to what I thought was the right scale and printed them off.

Hi all on the last leg with this one, the bike itself is nearly finished, I am attempting to scratch a compressor, which of course would then involve trying to scratch a 1/6 spraygun, still trying to make convincing socket set(you may notice I've made the socket wrench) definitley on the last leg though (may have to make some shelving for the stuff that's laying around on the floor, it looks a very messy workshop which would fail any health and hygiene inspection.
