1st days assembly completed, wiring loom in place.

Another few days (few slow hours a day) and all going well should be running and ready for graphics.

Just been told forks stanchions have to be rechromed due to a few pits by suspension service centre, another £200 gone.......

You can never have enough refurbished nuts bolts and brackets etc on a rebuild.

Its nice to just pick the correct one out of the pile.

Is this 'Spot the Difference' . Is there one or more bolts/parts missing from one photo .

Just lucky its not 8 pictures all the same, picture was taking too long load so tried again, and hey presto 2 the same.

I need faster broadband, its third world speed (or slower) here.

Anybody got a nice spare original Honda AR headlight assy, willing to pay £100.........plus delivery

Bloody hell helisupp are you going for the Guinness book of world records for the most AR's owned by a
private owner ? lol
well we all know it'll be a minter by the time you've finished with it ;)

She's coming along, no time today to do anything to it today, next bike is lurking in the cardboard box (Active Rascals old bike) to be started next week.





I have 2 Honda rear Mk 3 / AR mudguards in black for sale if anybody is looking for one, £15 each plus postage (£55 new).

looking good :)

Slowly getting there, hopefully finished by Monday, need to test a forum members ECU and powervalve controller on the bike once its running, set of spare forks fitted whilst waiting for refurbished ones to come back.



Nice to have new chain and sprox, but always a tight fit with standard 14 tooth for case protector.

Looking really good Mark, can't wait to see my old one, although it's going to make me green with envy!! :(

Bike is ready for engine running and leak checks tomorrow, making sure oil pump is held at maximum when starting up for first time.

Started 3rd kick, everything works. Nearly stickered up, just a couple more to go, just got to change (have another newly covered) seat and gearbox oil. Then its onto the last bike.

If only i had the time & money . . . . well ok if only i had the money lol
that AR's looking mint !

The one thing they are not is mint.

They are in very good condition with a few new parts, photos always make them look better than they are.

still look a damn site better than my mk2 & for 15-20 year old bike's your AR's look mint to me

Hi Mark
Where do you get your plastics from?and also where do you get your forks done
The bikes you have restored look fantastic.
