sprocket cover cb500

[mickwinf]

I need a final drive sprocket cover for Lazarus as the one i have just had vapour blasted is too corroded to use, in fact i have never seen one like it with deep pits like rusted iron. dont need the clutch lifter mechanism just the alloy cover. Will buy or swap, i have a spare kidney.

Got quite a few Nigel, no cost to you except postage.

who is this nigel you speak of? You could send with the shims if you have not sent them yet, let me know how much for postage, thanks ken, regards, Mick.

Sorry Mick, got Nigel on the brain. Was just replying to his PM and forgot who I was speaking to.

Shims are in a small bag. I'll find a box for the cover as soon as I make sure it's ok, I have at least 6 of them so I'll find a good one.

Proving harder than I thought this Mick.

I found 3 quite easily, one has a part of the oil pump wall broken, clearly a chain breakage, another has a very small section at the top of the oil pump wall missing, that may have been me fitting an oil pressure gauge many moons ago and that's how the pipe went through. The last one looked reasonable, I always clean them and inspect closely as I clean for damage. The alloy has some corrosion pitting and one area has what looks to be a stone strike. I could try and clean all these up to some extent but it would depend on what your were thinking of doing with it, powder coating would cover it pretty well for instance.

If you were thinking of polishing it then there's a lot of work to be done.

I should have at least 2 more around somewhere but I need to ensure that I have a decent one for my engine.

Let me know.

Thanks for looking Ken, i will be polishing it so needs to be not pitted too badly.

I could try cleaning one of the internally damaged covers if you want Mick. See how the surface is on them.
