Your bike looks fantastic, Paul.
No doubt you know the front sprocket cover bolts and washer should be black.
I have a spare set that i can send you.

Steve,
Yes - I had them re-plated silver by mistake. Have already got some replacements on the way, but thanks!
Paul.

It's another '79 Z model, so will have a matching pair of silver and red. Condition is OK - "cosmetically challenged", but largely complete / original.
Started stripping it down this week, and intend to restore it over the next 2-3 months. Will probably start new project thread at some point.
Paul.

When I saw the red bike, I thought "that looks pretty nice!"
Then I went back and looked at the final pics of the silver bike again, and now the red bike looks like it needs a ton of TLC.
Luckily we know it's in very capable hands.

I wonder how many of us have said the same thing...."i couldn't resist it, bought myself another CBX".
It is NOT an addiction, it is a hobby.

nah it's an addiction, a sane person would choose a Vespa or Honda Cub as a hobby.
