Well here's a few pics of the Tiger and Falco together.

There would have been more but the weather is crap.

Nice :smt001

I do like the Tiger. Very purposeful look about it, rather than a BMW Patrick Moore cyclops look...

Lets hope you get some decent weather to get used to it in!

It makes the Falco look like a minimoto when theyre parked together!

Probably looked like a minimoto with you perched on it anyway. :smt002

Here's some pics of the CB after some tlc. Managed to source some new old stock original parts, the grab rail was a particularly good find. The shocks came from Ebay USA for just $25 :smt001 Still work to do but at least she's looking smart and running reasonably well. It's my first attempt at any kind of restoration - it's slow but good fun and I'm learning a lot. It's surprising how simple these bikes are consider they were almost the superbike of their time.

Very tidy looking CB! I do like that colour, suits the CB well.

Thanks chaps. The colour isn't original but it's close. If you look at the side pods you'll probably notice the crappy handpainted lettering. The previous guy did it. And the gold stripe on the tank is too wide. My plan is to take to a proper paintshop and have it painted in the genuine Honda Candy Presto Red with the correct decals. Looks ok for now though.

If you are going to be picky you may as well get some original tyres for it too :smt002

Looks fine. You are doing a good job

My list od old hondas are

CJ250T
CJ360T
CB550
CB750K7 (the one with the pear shaped tank)
CB900

Not in that order. I miss the 750 :smt010

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
