Unfourtunally it was very cold and rainy, but more than 250 members took place and met there
for three days.  www.cbfourclub.de

Best regards from Germany
Tom.

from few time the my  four 750 k0 has a new brother.
I bought a Honda Xr 600 r of 1986.
So, the next restoring will be for this old bike.

I and my Xr600



I would obtain this result



In Italy we say...."do not mix the sacred with the profane".

But I like also this bike, it is nice and bad !!

The Italian seller don't post to Brazil.
Someone knows how this product is called in English?
I will try to search in ebay USA.

To resolve the pin problem, I drilled and inserted a special pin.
The translation in italian is "spina elastica", but I don't know the english name.





The result is good.

Yesterday I reassembled the light switch.
I used the lithium grease.



Fortunately, my son helped me. There are's two springs, and the assembly of these, is not simple (with only two hands).







Today I continue with the other parts
