Not great pics, but you get the idea. Needs a bit doing, some bits are better than I hoped for, some bits are worse. Chromes in good shape, tanks scratched and has a dent. Service parts and battery on their way ! 👍🏻

Nice looking bike - really good base for a project - Love the original seat with the wear and patina
So for the geeks - Wheels are late NB Gold, Clocks are NB, should the engine be black???

Rear reflector, are you talking about the lens. What have I got and what should I have ? Rear shocks, is there any good reason they’ve been swapped ? Master cylinder, I’ve seen a few with different ones, are the original ones prone to issues. Cheers

Hi the reflector is in the lens uk bikes have a blank on the bottom of the Mudgaurd the shocks you can get replicas from a company called tec I helped a friend with a 400 rebuild under the thread low mileage 400 it is good for reference points the pic below is a new set of these shocks with his original Honda top mounts powder coated ready to fit with the master cylinder if they are giving trouble most people will buy a cheap aftermarket one which is what mine had on when I got her and Ian on the forum kindly donated and swapped me his original one for me to do up and fit you have the correct one fitted as all pre NB models have four hole pot and NB onwards have two hole notice two hole one is smaller i also noticed no mirrors on the bike have you got them ? These are my genuine one but you can get really good copies as new Honda one are impossible to get

Thanks for the info Bodie, that’s really helpful. Yes, I've got original mirrors, my brother took them off to get the bike in his Peugeot Partner ( good work).
