I did it with my CB400N a few months ago and I do have pics. If we have no other volunteers I can do it guys if we all agree. I'm sorry - I have not had much time of late. I want to also get on and revamp the history and also have a general bodywork guide. Whilst away I have also been doing some serious research into decals. made a phone call today,my nb decals should be here Friday from image works,so I will take some pics and post them before I get them to the painter.

Cheers Loz.
That would be cooler than a cool thing on a cool day in Coolville.
I think we need to see the quality of what they're banging out.
Heard it's good but need evidence.
You going with the black or met red scheme ?

As a relative novice on these bikes I would really use the bike and model history and pics of the different livery? I'm scrabbling to keep up when you lot immediately clock what year/model/colour/country a bike is from a glimpse of the tail light screws...... I'm new to the restoration game Crouchy and although I have owned an SD for about 23 years I've never ridden it and it spent 20 years rusting in my shed ( see Avatar ) I bought another one a couple of years ago with the intention of using it as spares for the chopped one but then decided no I'll tidy it up a bit and use it. I have learned a lot about Superdreams from the guys on here and now find myself looking at Gumtree / Ebay etc. shaking my head and tutting when it says things like carefully restored and then I spot something wrong with it Unfortunately what guys like FB and a few others on the site have is quite contagious as I have discovered. I have only really started my restoration project and am currently working on the forks and front brake, as I said my intention was just to tidy it up BUT I took the caliper off got it stripped and painted including the little speedo cable bracket then I discovered the bracket would have originally been plated. Now if I had of stayed with my original plan I would have said " That looks OK" but then I thought about putting pictures of my shiny caliper on here and thought I can't leave it like that so ordered a new bracket from Silvers I even ordered an original Honda Screw to hold on the inspection cover together with new seals, piston, bleed nipple and cap all Honda. I now realise I have got the fungo bug and am realising this bike is going to cost me a f**king fortune. The guys on here have inspired me and made me aspire to do the restoration as best as I can ( within financial reason ) and to be honest I have enjoyed getting stuck in and seeing things look good again. Saying that it has had an adverse effect in other parts of my life, at the weekend I volunteered to clean the cooker top as I had made a bit of a mess of it, something I don't do too often I assure you. I actually found myself stripping the thing, getting the VIM ( remember that ) and scotchbrite sponges out and taking great pride showing her how shiny it was. ( The cooker ) I'm telling you this cleaning metal things is addictive there should be a health warning on here. But on a serious note a big thanks to all the guys on here who provide help, advice, support and inspiration to us less experienced Superdreamers. Ha ha ha i know what your saying, i checked out prices on how much it would cost to do mine up using after market parts, but have now seen the light and am using original parts or refurbing, i am trying to weld a seat base up as i want a metal not plastic after martket seat base (nightmare) but sorry fungobat i am polishing bits fork legs, gear casings, footrest hangers and brake drum. it is addictive like you say.

I just mean as a point of reference Terry - not how to spray etc - I would leave that to someone else. You remember the side panel gallery? We can bring that back along with a tank gallery and seat tailpiece gallery. Would help restorers 'get them right'. I'm on about fitting the exhaust Nick not spraying
