Hi Sam! Yes, still hanging around. I am waiting for a friend to do some painting for me. First my 1970 CB750K0 in candy blue green then Ben in Fire Red. I have both engines assembled and just did the valves clearance and static ignition timing.
Hope you are doing well. I just sent you a Friend ...

Hi! Could someone please tell me the size of the rims as in 16 x ?? Or where/how I measure them?
Thanks,
Cliff.

RED!


Spray booth.

It's a richer red than the original I think. All the pieces I have have faded a fair bit. It really pops in the sunshine but may disturb some of the purists. :)
I've polished much of the aluminium bits so it will be quite shiny all over.

Yes, local large hardware store Comes in spray cans or paint cans.

One more. it's strange how the colour changes from inside the garage and outside. it's bright! Not the final product, just playing with some spare parts.

A quick experiment with Tremclad Fire Red, no prep and in the rain, sprayed on some parts bike bits. The bottom third of the round part has the new paint on it. Looks close and it's bright red. Cliff.

It will be a stock Honda red. I have a red parts bike that my paint guy can colour match to. Cheers, Cliff.

Thanks guys, good information! Since I took it down to bare metal would it be sacrilege to change the colour to red? Glossy black is so nice but I'm getting partial to bright red. Cliff.

A problem with painting the shock covers. I'm using a primer for plastic bumpers. The primer seemed to stick nicely to the side covers but is easily scratched off the shock covers. I sanded them down and washed them very clean. Any suggestions on another paint to use? Thanks, Cliff.

More.

Long time between posts but I have started again. Time for paint prep.

Thanks! Great looking bike! Cliff.

Hi! Has anyone purchased replacement rims from Thailand? Were you happy with them? The prices seem good, about half of what it would cost to rechrome the ones I have, from $65 to $100 for a pair plus $100 to ship. US dollars of course. The Canadian dollar is sliding but it may still be an economical ...

The Mother's polishing cone works very well. it gets into tight places and does a nice job. Cliff.
