THE OWNER PAINSTAKINGLY SOURCED OUT NEW AND N.O.S. PARTS, THEN COMPLETELY TORE DOWN THIS BIKE. THE ENGINE WAS DISSASEMBLED AND NEW BEARINGS, SEALS, GASKETS, AND RINGS WERE INSTALLED AND THEN IT WAS PAINTED. THE CARB WAS CLEANED AND GONE THROUGH. THE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY STRIPPED TO BARE METAL AND THEN POWDER-COATED WITH THE HONDA RED. THE GAS TANK WAS PROFFESIONALLY STRIPPED AND PAINTED HONDA RED. THERE IS NO RUST IN THE TANK AND HAS BEEN COATED WITH MP3 TO COMBAT RUST. THERE HAS BEEN NO FUEL PUT INTO THE TANK SINCE THE BUILD. THE BIKE WAS ASSEMBLED USING STAINLESS FASTNERS THROUGH-OUT.
