Paul Mather's Cafe Racer based on a Honda CB 500 T from 1976.
The frame has been beefed up around the rear of the bike with the addition of extra steel plates and a housing to keep the battery and reg/rec. Paul did some work on the cylinder head to improve gas flow which has worked very well, also the addition of free flow air filters and a pair of reverse cone mega's have made the bike pick up really fast .
Keeping with the tradition of Home Brewed Special, the frame was sprayed by Paul using rattle cans! However the tank and seat unit were sprayed by Paul's eldest son in his garage although the tank proved to be a real test for their nerves because it kept leaking petrol from the welds,as a result it had to be resprayed. Thanksfully, the addition of resin pet seal helped the tank stop leaking again
