Looks a beauty. Look what I have started with....

This is my '61 CB72

And my '64 CB77

Gets a bit damp in UK - these have both been sitting in leaky sheds for 30+ years. Coming along steadily now.....

credit where due

Credit for info I posted goes to e3steve; I copied two of his forum posts and saved for future reference...my ignition switch didn't work reliably after my bike's 30+ year nap until I squirted some graphite lock lube into it and exercised it by turning it back and forth a bunch of times...it's been reliable since then.
'62 CB77. "It's a rider."
