I hope my Superdream credentials will allow a little latitude. I am still restoring a Honda, just a bit bigger than normal. RNO431W is a 1980 cx500. 25500 miles from new.full service history. First owner did 23000 miles in 2 years,the next did 1500, didn't like it, and put it in a none too dry garage in 1983. Cleared the garage out just last month and in steps Duffer with a teeny bit of cash. I think this is a keeper,so it is going to get some love. Pictures best tell this story, and it is just like a Superdream find. Here we go. Crusty,but oh so original. Lots of stuff to be chromed. I think I have a plan for the front mudguard. Original bracket, replacement top welded in place, then re-chromed. Not original,but a close match perhaps. I am on a budget, so saving over £150 on a second hand one before sending it to be re- chromed anyway is handy. David Silver also had a good day today. Let me know if I should continue sharing this one....

Steve Rather than weld I think you can get Chrome screw rivets - someone on here will know

Just realised why this one is called Rhino......the penny has dropped.
Only took me a week.

Sorry. I do that with number plates. Had an old AJS LBG365, known as Last Bugger Going. First car, a mini JNC674F, known as Junk. My mate had a Suzuki TWT 684T, couldn't think of one for that though....

Someone may have been too tempted to get the black marker out.

Oh yes. I am slowly taking it apart and taking pictures of everything so it can all go back just the same.

Looks like it would clean up, if you know a good panel beater. I wouldnt mind a go at getting that back, if you were going to junk it
