In the begining

Picked this little piece of dirtbike history up recently with the intention of fully restoring it.
The bike is an original 1979 UK bike with a very low frame number ( in the low 40's!)

This resto job will however have a slight twist as i intend to build the bike honda never did...... the Honda xr500 desert twinshock. Having seeing many pics of the yamaha twinshock desert blasters i thought i would add a honda as it may have looked if they had built it.
