      One of the nicest motorcycles Honda ever produced. Value going up and up. Very nice work, done correctly and no hacking shid up. I love Cloud Silver and was thinking of painting my project the same color.

      Very well done, very.

        Remarkable work Joe! Is that bike for a customer or part of your collection?

                    I'm assuming you cleaned up or fabbed the parts for that. I can't see anybody specializing in NOS parts for one of those. Really great work!

                        Holy Cats, Joe.
                        What a beauty.
                        I have not seen those Hagon shocks before.
                        Are they the Classic III, similar to these on EBay?
                        I like the idea of modern performance with the retro look.

                          Shocks do look cool. Gotta lose the stickers though.

                            Beautiful work as always, Joe. That bike looks amazing. The owner will probably pee his pants when he sees it. Those bombers are incredibly collectible. That one looks like it just rolled out of the factory. Very nicely done. But yet, I wouldn't expect anything less, either.
