If you want the formula for the Honda sulfur yellow paint, send me a private email and I'll send you the formula. I figured it our a few years ago and repainted my bike to match.

I was looking at your frame shots (page 5) and recalled a thread here about fitting the center stand frame with a Zerk (grease) fitting for ease of lubrication in the future. If you haven't already, you may want to consider that about now...... http://www.ngwclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8877&hilit=grease+fitting+for+center+stand

New and Confused ?
Push the Big Button

Hehehe, I am still alive!! It is just way to cold in my wooden shed to work

I am also moving from Amsterdam to The Hague, so very little time to work on my bike.. I plan to finish it in the summer and drive it in September. Maybe not such a beauty as I planned, will work on the details in the comming years.

Cheers Feraz

I was just looking at your previous photos and notice your slides are 75's. You listed your bike as a 76. You might want to check which bodies you have and make sure you have the right jetting to go with those slides. Perhaps Honda ran some of them to Europe like that in 76 too. It's worth checking before all buttoned up and having problems getting good idle. Should be better performance in the long run, I think. Randakk's site has reference pics of the differences.
