  1. Thanks for the feedback everyone! Its really nice talking to people who used to ride these bikes. I've heard some wild stories from total strangers about their Superdream memories Exhaust has finally been ordered, so hopefully a running video to follow.
  2. Hello! I picked up a CB250N Honda Super-dream at the start of the year, with the intention of making it into a summer commuter bike. Here is my progress so far; Bike details; I bought the bike of eBay, unseen. It ran okay (ish) but was difficult to start and had been basically sat since 1984. The bike has all the original paperwork which indicates it was bought new from Honda, riden for 10,000 miles, then stored/sold/stored/sold until 2019. After cleaning and dismantling, I found a few issues... The petrol tank was completely rusted through, more cheese grater at this point. The wiring was almost all black wires. Fault finding was going to be hard. The underside had never been cleaned. The carbs were blocked with rusty tank. The fuel lines were very brittle. The rubber gaskets connecting the carb to the engine were split. So naturally the first thing I did was make a new seat! But then it was time for the real work...New Tank, fixed the electrics, new smaller Lit battery, new carb gasket connectors (these were expensive!!!), new fuel line and filter, new wiring, painted the forks, added fork dust protectors, painted the headlight, and a very deep clean! I've been struggling with time on this project due to house moves, weddings, and work (story of our lives??) but this is how it sits today; It looks close to being finished, but I still need too; Fix the front brake (i'm hoping a fluid change and bubble tap will solve this). Fit an exhaust muffler.Fit the licence plate + reflectors. New headlight bulbs. Wrap the exhaust. I've also made a video series which has fallen behind due to time - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxQPGalV3hGyQeXhTlimW-w Let me know your thoughts.
