Just try and pull the basket out without the springs fitted, so just after you fit the circlip, if it moves it needs shimming, I tend fit shims until I can just about fit the circlip on. Easier on the 500 as it's designed slightly differently. You need the proper chrome countersunk screws for the points cover Roo, they didn't use those type of JIS screws for that cover If you haven't got any yet don't buy them as I may have some NOS as I don't think I'll be using the chrome cover on mine, found a NOS 650 cover instead which I intend to polish up, not sure what screws or bolts it uses to attach itself but I'd imagine the normal 8mm headed flanged bolts Honda love to use. If so my NOS screws are available.
Yes, chain guard and rear mudguard have been rechromed and fitted. I’ve fired the engine and it runs mighty fine. I’ve even been round the block….slowly. Just the seat and hoses to source and fit.Roo, if you can source a seat pan in very good nick at a reasonable price I’d be ecstatic.
Roo, are you still puzzling over the Clutch metal inner plate, or have you sorted. I mention it simply because I have my clutch cover off for polishing and shimming.
Yes, 1977 F2. Roo, I’m sure you are aware that the F2 seat pan is unique?
