The replica panels do not fit the A4 lugs, I have ordered some specially made ones from Japan that have different pins. If you check out video 'build part 4', it shows where we have modified a later frame to take the Z1 side panels, but you would also need a Z1 airbox because the side panels are shaped to fit the airbox.
Great stock bike there, I had a 74 for many years-- regarding losing side covers if you bend the taps that the nipples go into for a tighter fit you will never lose a side cover again-- also some people used to drill and pin them but I bent mine and it worked fine. Your paint looks different than what I have seen, EURO version different?
Gorgeous work on the 900, I am too in love with these old bikes especially the Honda CX500 and I've found one in my city to restore.
Really enjoyed this video!
Looking forward to the next one.
Damn, that is one good looking bike! Can't wait for the next vid
