I built this for my daughter. There are a number of one off parts that were machined. The logo on the side of the tank was my custom design. The first image of the "wing" appeared in 1947 when Soichiro Honda was inspired by the sculpture of the goddess Nike (Ancient Greece goddess of victory). The first wing had a muscular male form. Since I was building this bike for my daughter I changed it to a female form.

Front end was changed to a 1978CB400Tii. That provided me with different wheels (Comstars) and gave me a disc brake vice drum brake. I had the rotors ground down and had some custom holes drilled. I hand polished the lips of the wheels to look like chrome.

Fitting the wheel took some engineering to get it centered because the hub was wider than the original so custom spacers were machined.

I took the original tank Honda logos and moved them to the side covers.
