"oh wow, that is simply stunning". now that is workmanship at its best. Brilliant.
I'm hearing you. I have a GT550 and the chrome is £££. Now I see why cafés and brats are so popular.

I had the red, white and blue Kangol, the black red & gold one and a yellow Boeri helmet when they were new.
You should try and track down a white Griffith - they were a fortune back then. I think I was earning £15 per week

Managed to grab myself an extremely extremely rare NOS 1970's Original Honda Helmet.
Made in Japan and used in the CB Four's advertising and release photos.
Couldn't pass the chance down to own it!!
It's not quite the same red but not far off it
Best of all it fits so might get a run out the odd time.
