Here's what my Elsinore look like now. I need to find a chain guide and a real Honda front number plate. Also I have a chrome handlebar but they are a little bit bent. I will try to repair them and I'll install some black grips.

Thanks everybody for your help!

Looks great.

Off topic, did you have that man door installed in the garage door? I would love to do something like that. We don't have a man door in the garage and are constantly opening the garage door when we just need to walk out.

Superb job! That's just what mine looked like when I got it in '74.
