That's looking very, very good, Graham! You're making some great progress.

Thanks! Back on my travels at the end of the month so progress will dry up somewhat.

Look what arrived in the post from Waveblaster - Thanks!

A little bit of tin-bashing to do but a really nice part.

More detail

This is a front fender that I bought for another project from Alan Curtis who is also restoring a 1961 CB72. I took a look at it today and see that it has just one rivet at the edge of the bracket just like the aluminium part I was looking for. I suppose that Honda kept the brackets the same when they moved to a steel fender but I wonder when the change to two rivets was made?

This is a nice Japanese '61 CB72 restoration with the 'single rivet' fender.

Wow. Ted's Special is spectacular.

I see all sorts of little differences between that early CB72 and a later CB77, like mine.
