Some good progress this week, I have spent hours, stripping, rubbing down, painting at polishing almost the entire bike. There was an enormous amount of brushed on silver and gold paint on everything, the top and bottom yolks, barrel, head, engine casing, hubs, nuts, literately on everything
So a few process pictures

The tank stripped back to bare metal, this along with the side panels and cafe seat are at the spray shop (These are the only parts to be professionally painted)

Stripping the swing arm..

and tarted up with hammerite.

Wheels refurbed, spokes and nipple painted with hammerite, also the brake arms. Hubs rubbed back and hand polished to a reasonable shine ( I may take these a bit further using a drill buffer) But pretty shiny for hand done
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/11150534_10153154122844020_4265958718285619163_n_zpscmtbyzhi.jpg
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/20150411_180454_zps348per6b.jpg
The frame was given a good few coats of hammerite and been baking in the sun for a few days... Tidied up the wire loom, cutting away any surplus and re doing any broken connections..
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/20150411_180442_zpslfynmx27.jpg
Barrel and head off, again covered in brushed on paint
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/20150412_131748_zpso2dtgjm0.jpg
Oh you dirty lil bstard... Plenty coke, but no marks, so this will be decoked and popped back in, the barrel sleeve is also in great nick
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/20150412_131755_zpswjym5tit.jpg
A little help today, from my lad, all of 10 mins
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/20150412_134625_zps23xwpjv8.jpg
4 hours later, sore fingers and aching shoulder it's stripped and ready to paint with high heat aluminum paint (Spray not bloody brush)

Looks really good
Carry on with all this stripping and painting lark and you won't be able to call it a "ratty" racer anymore though. ____________________ Present: [Kawasaki ZX7r][Suzuki DRZ 400s]

This is the problem, she will always be a ratty racer to me, her number plate tag even reads 'Ratty Racer' But I will be proud to call her a cafe, if all goes to plan ____________________ 1980 Honda H100A, Cafe racer. (SOLD)

So a little bit done today, I'm feeling rough with man flu
Stripped the front shocks and cleaned/re filled and rebuilt. New oil, new gaitors, and onto the nicely refurbed yolks I'm yet to fit a new steering lock, (Need to find fixing screws, these were the only screws stripped during strip down) Not bad
https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y87/NitroCowBoy/BIKE/Honda%20rebuild%202015/20150420_120825_zpsnfxnvezl.jpg
Fitted onto the frame, with a nice new single light, new cables routed through, everythings hand tight for now to see how she'll look. I have to strip to frame and build out front as the bike wont go through the house
I also fitted a new sprocket set and a new set of cush drive rubbers in the rear wheel. (no pics)

So she is almost done, just waiting on a new battery, ignition switch and top chain guard. The exhaust needs fitting, tank badges need fitting back on, then I can fire her up to check the electrics, before booking an MOT
I decided to keep the air box and panels, instead of a bell filter, my mate done such a nice job on the panels, along with the tank and seat hump, it would have been rude not to use them
I've also not yet fitted rearsets as i'd planned, I need some assistance for this, ie welding tabs on the frame for fitting.
a few other bits to do, I want to add a silver stripe down the middle of the tank and seat. Maybe a subtle decal, here and there and I'd like to change that side stand, for something a little less conspicuous. I also need to either make a filler piece to fit between the tank and seat or make different bracket, so the seat can be fitted further forward.

Having a few electrical issues, so she's still sat waiting to be fire up, I stripped back the wire loom yesterday, ready to investigate Sunday... Electrics is the one thing I hate playing about with, but now the loom is stripped of it's age old insulation tape, it seems much clearer to follow the Haynes wiring diagram ____________________ 1980 Honda H100A, Cafe racer.

The electrics on my MT5 are always playing up as well. I think it's to do with six volt electrics being puny. I don't know if the H100 runs 12V or 6V though? I can't do electrics, luckily my dad used to be a BT engineer so he can help me when I need it. ____________________ Current:1991 Honda MT50 (Soon to be a H100/MTX/MT5 hybrid), 1976 Honda Cub C70, 2005 Honda Varadero 125, 1993 Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro , 2010 Road Legal Stomp YX140, 1994 Honda CRM 250 MK III, 1999 Cagiva Mito 125, 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four, Stomp T4 230, 1984 Honda H100s, 2009 Sym XS125K

After a several failed attempts to fire her up, I finally took off the carb for a look, the screws were rusted fast, after a few choice words, mole grips and some brute force, I cracked it open...
Striped and cleaned and put back on the bike, I replaced the fuel pipe, kicked her over and she fired up on the first kick
All electrics work, lights, horn and ignition all A OK So she's booked for a MOT this Friday

Please keep the sidestand, it's my favourite part.
It feels like it should come with a sound effect like one of those spring-type doorstops (maybe you could attach one that it plunks every time you put the stand down).

Vinyl wrap would make a good job of your tank stripe and without damaging the paintwork underneath. They do various metallic effects too. Long thin strips are often available as offcuts from when people have wrapped cars so check ebay. Try for the proper 3M controltac stuff, its WAY better quality than any of the other stuff on the market. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
