Great to hear from you Ben! been a long time. I still have the day job but the restoration business is taking over more and more now. Just trying to keep it fun, especially with the KZfaq channel.
@benlamb695 3 күн бұрын
I thought you must have retired from the day job with so many bike projects. I haven’t ridden a bike for years. I co-owned a Honda motorcycle franchise for 10 years but running a bike business took some of the joy out of it. I switched to four wheels & built an AC Cobra instead.

Great work, sir. I have a question. Is it best to blend the paint with an airbrush or can you use a spray can as well? Thank you for your answer and have a great day!
@MCSR52 4 күн бұрын
If you have an airbrush definitely use that over a spray can as you have more control. The other issue with spray cans is it’s very difficult to limit paint flow unlike an airbrush, which is needed when you paint up to the edge of the blend area.

Thanks, I often question if we really need to go to this level to save original parts but it’s cool to see and the end results are certainly more satisfying than just stripping everything and replacing it.

Do you know of any companies that make those style gauge needles, or of a way of making them yourself, such as a 3D printer or something of the sort? I've got an '85 CB700 that has both the tach and speedo gauge needles broken and they are that style but I cannot find any replacements for them, would you know of a way I could remedy that?
@MCSR52 28 күн бұрын
I’ve not looked to see if anyone makes them but 3D printing would probably be the best option. The other method is to buy one of those home molding kits and try to do it that way but it’s a lot of hassle. Alternatively find a set of used clocks and swap the parts over, might be cheaper.
