Guys you can follow this build under My CB 750 F Honda

 

[Guest]

Jim do what I do scrap the official colour scheme and do whatever takes your fancy.

 

[james pithouse]

ok Ken. I'll do that on the next bike out off the three, that is left to do. But which one out off three shall I do next from hayabusa gxs 1300 r, or the xv 1600 roadster, or the Honda cbr 1100 xx which one to choose from help

 

[Guest]

Honda always go with honda

It's nice to see someone else doing some bike kits and good start.
If I may suggest, it's worthwile seeing which parts can be pre-assembled before paint, things like the fuel tanks and mudguards most often can and you can fill and get rid of seam lines before you paint, same with engine assemblies etc.
I'd like to see the Roadster built next, I've looked at that kit numerous times and haven't seen one built yet.
The CB is a great one to cut your teeth on though, good stuff.
