      I didn't remove them because I didn't paint the tank, it is platidip, a rubber coating that can me removed. I wanted to keep the stickers to give a kind of shape to the platidip it was intentional lol. And also that way I could go back to stock tank design if I wanted to

My father would often turn up with a hunk of junk and spend many hours stripping it down and rebuilding it. Great job love the old school/cafe racer style of bikes (its what my father was into back in the 80's) I have subscribed! Love from Liverpool UK.

    You did a great job on your bike ! VVe dont get any 2 cylinder 125cc models here in the USA so its nice getting to see the models that Honda offers in other countries .I had a 1978 CB400T2 for almost a decade . It got converted into a retro Mini-VVing vv/an old Craig Vetter fairing , a trunk, saddlebags & a crash bar . It vvas comfortable & like all Hondas , Reliable . The only thing I'll suggest to you is that you eventually put the front fender back on the bike . I've removed mine @ one time & after having to ride through the rain & then having loose gravel get throvvn right into my face @ 50mph I realised that no matter hovv cool it looked , fenders are vvorth having. That said I vvish you many years of safe & fun riding & if you ever build another bike please post that video as you did a great job .

    Looks great please make sure you take the fork brace off the front fender and bolt it back on to the front forks as its what gives the forks stability. If you paint an engine again here is a hint if you want some parts still aluminum finish. Don't tape them off. Just have a rag with paint thinners on it to wipe off the areas you want unpainted after you spray the engine. Works fast and clean. No need to tape them off. I have been doing it for decades and is as simple as it hits
