They all look nice.

Looks like one of these games for vintage Honda owners to while away those long dark nights out on the fens.

Very good Nigel and yes, it's a game only people with classic bikes or cars would understand.

If you meant 'clean' Pete, then yes. We always use Allenchrome in Pocklington. We have never had a bad bit of metal back from them but as usual, its the cleaning you do yourself that gives the good outcome.

When you say cleaning do you mean strip and polish or just decrease

De grease and then wire brush to clean all the s**t out of the threads and under bolt heads, in nooks and crannies etc. We actually do the de greasing in a cement mixer (easier this way with the quantity we have to do each time) with traffic film remover, fairy liquid, hot water and builders sand.

You know I have to make my own tea and coffee John !!!. I'm looking at all the photos I took when stripping them, trying to make sense of how to put them back together. Give me a few days and I'm sure I will have them sorted.

Bugger that you need them on the bike for the weekend, get Graham locked in that workshop with you

I wish Paul but Graham is so busy with work at the moment he says I will have to do them myself. I bet my carbs will be refurbed quicker than your front forks, with all the correct parts fitted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Not my fault    everything states 11mm seals and I bought 11mm.
The 13mm ones will be here today so you better hurry up. Then again I do have to work as well not like some
