As soon as I get a minute spare, and see if I can remember my photo bucket account, I will get a few photos on, and stand back for the "fairing/pizza box abuse" lol

Welcome to the forum bob, 85000 miles on the same engine surely is a testament to 70-80s japanese engineering

Well Steve, I only collected it today, so as such, not had a play yet really.
It's got a raft of old mot's so will see how many miles, and when it's clocked them.
A 30 mile ride home with it, threw up a bit of engine rattle, and if memory serves me, all old Hondas had a bit of cam chain "music"
As for plans, I'm going to use it for work, and maybe the odd weekend touring, it's had paint, and not the best, but intend to keep it tidy rather than concourse.
I'm going to trawl fleabay for a spare lump to fettle and maybe swap over , but only as a hobby rather than a necessity.
