Honda305.com Forum

With the help of Ed Moore and many others on this forum, I have finally finished the restoration of my 1966 Superhawk. I'm very grateful for all the advice, tips, and help from others on this forum. I'm waiting for a couple of original exhaust pipes, and my baby will be completely stock.

I've benefited greatly from the vast experience and incredibly creativity of participants on this forum, and dabbled with de-rusting my tank by electrolysis (I highly recommend it!), of zinc plating pieces on the bike (I highly recommend it!) and other things I'd never have known.

Since we are at 5,000 feet and very humid, I've had to re-jet severely - can't hardly get small enough jets! But I'm now on the road, and ready to face the Costa Rican DMV (not looking forward to that, but no way around it!).

Thanks to all on this forum who make it a delightful and useful forum for many of us!

Very sweet looking bike. I'm sure you'll have a blast with it and cause many questions to come your way. :)

Thanks Eljeef - I've already had lots of folks ask me about the year and size of the bike. I think I have the only one in Costa Rica!

my bike is currently diassembled and getting stripped in the blasting cabinet part by part (when i can handle the 20 degree garage :/)

I feel ya on the cold weather bit. I've been trying to get my paint done, but even in Big D, it's been in the upper 20's and 30's! Paint doesn't seem to like those temps. On the other hand, I was able to get a wiring harness made in the house where it was warm. Almost done!

Sweet ride GG! Can you take some videos when you fire it up and post em on Youtube?
