If you've got the time then anything is possible-

I would hate to have to tell him this, but those are CB750 exhausts, the CB500 had a different design.

LOL just goes to show that you have to check what you download off Thingiverse

Well that's all of the main wheels done, just need to do another two when I build the towing dolly.

There is something to be said for having all my hard work done whilst I am shopping in Ikea...

I will mount the wheels on 2mm stainless rod, it won't run very well but it is a simple solution, they are held on with cocktail sticks at the moment.

Just one more wheel to print, wheels lke this are a pain in the proverbial to design and take ages to print. The limber wheels are a different style to the rear ones, so that added to the fun and games, but that hill has been climbed.

Will have to order some stainless rod for the axles, and a couple of long 2.5mm drills are on their way so that I can drill out the tubes nice and smoothly. I will wait until I have printed all of the parts before I start the mammoth sanding and filing stage.

After much filling, sanding, hi build primer, and paint...it seems to be finally getting there. It still needs more paint, and there is a fair bit of detail to add, but the basics have now been done.

W.W., Sir,
Just think, a large scale kit like this would cost a fortune as it would no doubt be scarce on the ground if it could even be found... You're doing this one yourself and can even sell kits of it if you please. I am constantly amazed by the possibilities these days.
regards,
Painless
