Welcome to the forum, Cobraace.

Congratulations on your purchase.... I think! Some "basket cases" can get very very expensive, very very quickly! Hope you got a good deal.

OK first question any tips on changing the crank bearings ?

Is that your shed with the other bikes all wedged in against one another? You are going to be very busy if it is.

Tips for crank bearing changes, get it done properly or by someone who can balance cranks properly. Honda makes custom bearings so you have to buy genuine, there are only a few in the world left...unless you go down the path of modifying your own set.

What are your plans for the bike, restoration or modification?
