That's a decent looking Scrambler! My CB72 isn't as bad as it looks and I have most of the parts it needs. I will try and do a restoration thread here to share progress, if I can.

I used to write freelance for a british magazine and I found that the pressure of deadlines detracted from the "therapy" so have tried to avoid that for a while. Hopefully I can keep up some regular progress with this one...

It all looks so easy! Points deducted for grey rear brake cable, though.....

Just you wait. 5-10 years and I'll be there.. :-)

graham, mine 10 years after yours i think..,
its strange how this year has a mix of different colour cables, i know the back should be black, but i think the front should be grey.
good to meet up today.

Mine has black tacho, speedo and back brake. Front brake and clutch are grey. I think that is probably correct.
