Completely offtopic: New Project
I found the typical, stereotypical, Barn Find. $200 later, it's home and I'm sussing out it's story. One week later I'm sorting out the garage for winter and it gets parked next to the LT.
The LT is One Big Chica. The 64 Honda Benly Tourer looks like it's 1/3rd actual size.

Tony, he's not a dog. He's a thief. I will officially offer double his purchase price. Does that make me a thief also? I sold my 1966 Honda 450 for $450.00 six months ago.

The plan is to get my 9 year old BOYS to do most of the work. If they feel they're a part of it, I'm hoping they'll treat it better.

Appears to be a rare find at an unreal price.

I'm trying to determine what does and does not have to be done and coming up with some nifty stuff from the Honda community, example: pull all of the oddball grease zerks (and there are a lot of them), then retap and replace with metric zerks.

My proudest moment was hearing one of the boys, in my flippantly casual tone of voice say: "So fix it!"

Re: Completely offtopic: New Project
I have a new problem. I now have to split my allowance between two bikes. Do I buy a brake light switch, battery, seat cover, air cleaner, and chain for the Benly....or a rear tire for the LT?
