If your workspace is cold and your camera was warm, it could have just fogged the lens till equilibrium was reached.

Oh man! You're going to get our a**es kicked for that.
Oh wait, demographics say that the average Harley rider is 54 years old with a median income of $83,000/year with a college degree with less than 5 years riding experience and 3.4 children in college.

Nevermind.

(wink wink - just poking fun)
:shock:

Sorry -- off topic but too qualify the Harley comment:

Chris, I think you have only told part of the story. Hope you don't mind me butting in but I think the readers would like to know a bit more. Your latest bike with the red tank is based on the New Sports Version of the BB ( which in itself is based upon the Ken Ives Red). This was an actual model released by Honda at the Earls Court show in London in late 67 and was an effort to jazz up the older BB which had not sold as expected in the UK. The new sports version had the red tank, sometimes red and silver air cover panels, chrome headlight, chrome chainguard, chrome front and rear mudguards, and sometimes ace or drop handlebars. Chris has sent me pictures as he has built this bike and I can tell you it's superb!!! Not sure what the competition is going to be like in the "bike of the year" contest, but I really hope you win it. I have seen pictures of the black bikes also and you would all be amazed at how good they are. Good Luck Chris and lets hope the next BB you are restoring is as good as the rest!!!!
Ray.

Too funny...

Yeah, I've seen that - the guy gets all his weight on the rear wheel and can't negotiate the turn.

Man, scary stuff on a very scary road.

There are over 35 pictures of all my bomber rebuilds over on the MSN CB450DOHC site on page 5 of photographs under MY BOMBER & RED PROJECT (3 Pages of them)
Steve ...Thanks for editing out my duplicate pics can you get my others over here..you have my permission if you can... save me a lot of time and as you know I'm better with the spanners.I will however promise to post proffesional photoshoot & show pics at a later date.
Also thank to Ray for filling you all in but I'm still in process of obtaining exact history details on this Motorcycle ,where purchased from etc.and there will be a lot more to come.Eg Originally not sold or registered until 1973...had been crated up.
Regards Chris.

Thought I'd just add pic of my douglas dragonfly also in my stable.Just found out theyv'e put it on the douglas site.Sorry its not a honda but it is a twin and several club members do run them using honda pistons.

 

[66Sprint]

Is the Dragonfly supercharged?... Seems like an awfully long intake tract otherwise...
The bike is VERY cool!.... Steve

Hi Steve earlier models had twin carbs one mounted on each cylinder but this is standard 1957 with the earles front forks handles like a dream.
