Apologies it’s not a super dream but it is a Honda 😊. So I got this little beauty a few weeks ago, but I was still working on the silver super dream restoration as seen in the thread “To cafe or not to cafe”. Although the VT is in good shape the frame looks tatty so I have decided to dismantle to get the frame powder coated.

it’s a lot easier on the back putting the frame to the engine rather than lifting the engine into the frame.
