Hello 
I'm hoping me and my li'll ol' Honda can come and join in the fun, even though she's only sort-of a Superdream rather than a 'proper' one. I was on the 'other' forum which seemed to vanish overnight a while back, so I thought I'd poke my nose in here and see what's what
Here's my ride:
She's probably got as much in common with Trigger's broom as much as the Superdream, but she is what she is
I've had her since some time in 2010 when my car was off the road, and gave her a bit of a spruce-up in 2013. Here's a list of what I've done (that I can remember anyway):
Think that's about it. Upshot is I've spent far more time and money on her than she's worth, but then that's not why we do it is it?
She's used for commuting / short two-up trips out / rallying and has completed (with varying degrees of success) two Brit Butt rallies to date.

I've had her since some time in 2010 when my car was off the road, and gave her a bit of a spruce-up in 2013. Here's a list of what I've done (that I can remember anyway):
- Made one sort-of working engine out of 3 crap ones. This one is the 'original' (by which I mean the one that came fitted when I purchased) with a gearbox & sundries off the other two.
- Powdercoated frame / swingarm / stands
- Home-built loom
- Wheel bearings & steering head bearings changed
- Front forks rebuilt with OEM tubes
- K81 TT100 tyres (though I plan to change for a set of BT45's)
- eBay-special pattern headlight to replace the long-gone square headlight
- David Silver's replacement indicators
- Genuine OEM ignition barrel (expensive...)
- Renthal bars
- Bar-mounted 12V socket
- Bar-mounted phone cradle
- Tom Tom Rider V5 sat-nav
- Carbs rebuilt with OEM parts (expensive...)
- David Silver's replacement airbox rubbers
- eBay-special H4 HID kit (to keep the power consumption down!)
- Air horns
- New OEM airfilter
- Motobatt battery (yet to be fitted)
- Some crusty old stator that came fitted to one of my many old engines (the 'best' of the bad bunch is being re-wound by Westcountry Windings as we speak)
- EBC clutch plates
- Underseat fuse box for accessories
- Hagon replacement shocks
- Krauser rack & a Givi top-box from a previous bike made to fit
- In-top box phone charger & 12V socket
