Stuart,
Would defiantly be interested in stock 4 pipes but of course its down to the price.
Also same with a stock tank not into cafe stuff.
If and when you can get these drop me a line.
Cheers
Bitsa

Stuart, I'd be 2nd in line behind Bitsa on the stock hm341 pipes, but again depends on price. James

Chrome finishing strip for the 500/4 tank. Engine bits - things that currently aren't available - It's been a while since I looked - only other thing that was always hard to get was rear mudguard in chrome. Hard to say until I sort the bike back to working order  as stuff that was unobtainable now is obtainable and stuff that could readily be got is apparently no longer available. Rear wheel bearing retainers for instance apparently aren't available?
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Ok things like exhausts seats and tanks are something i plan to look into but more than likely will be further down the line due to large costs involved with these in bulk ordering. I do however plan to have rocker cover plugs, oil pressure switches, NGK plugs and NGK plug caps in both red and black available from this wknd and cb500/550 fork brace in the next few weeks all being well.

I will look into the chrome strip for the tanks see what i can get a hold off

picked up some chrome " screen trim" from Halfords that looks not too bad on the tank

I'm currently strapped for cash - well cash for bike jobs, thanks to a stint of ebay buying for bits and bobs for the home and farm. My barn is full of unfinnished projects so I'm having a drive at getting the bits to finish off the ones that take the most space. There's a horse drawn finger mower from 1908 and a 1914 Oliver lathe big enough to do drum brakes on a 550 with the tyre still fitted to finish and that is where the cash must go sadly.

Oddjob my wallet is twitching at the thought of the rear mudguard and chrome strip although I too am limited spending wise, PM me a price and I will see if I can raise the cash by selling a grandchild!
Love the 500 and 550 have a 500 called Lazarus under restoration

Missus is ok with it this time as all the money I get from the sales of my parts goes to building her a new laundry room.

You can have a discount price on your Y fronts mate, hows that.
Just posted your bearing retainer BTW.

Is that for a full wash and bow dry with ironing chucked in ?  It would be a deal , but the elastic's bust. I'll need a full refund on them from M&S.
