I am lucky enough to live right in the middle of some of these great roads, Crossroads Cafe, Builth and Aberystwyth are all about 35 miles from my door, though I normally constrain myself to the 20 miles or so to and from work these days thanks to the time constraints of kids and work. I think I may have to invest in proper carb overhaul, the more I read about the cruising immage kits, sounds better than putting up with so many leaks or having to dose so heavily with redex.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Julie,John bikes look great.  8) 8)
I used mine unexpectedly today I'v been working in Cambridge and we have been parking up just out side of the town and riding the last 2.5 miles in on a CG125.We were rushed off site at the end of the day and when we got back to the car and realized my dad had left the keys at work I was in hysterics  ;D ;D until I realized I had to sit on the back of the 125 :o after an agonizing 50 miles later we got home.Then we realized my dad needed the car tomorrow so we jumped on the 750 and road back to Cambridge I can now confirm after four and a half hours and 150 miles that the cheap coils I bought for the 750 on ebay work a treat,pillions are comfortable unless on a CG and the 70's headlight is complete crap.

On the subject of carb parts, how do the cruzinimage kits compare to the Keyster kits?

Keyster 100%, Cruzinimage 90% but, the price reflects this.

home early,got about 2/3rds of the way and lost all electrics,turns out a solder joint/wire fell off the back of the ignition switch,managed
to make a circuit using a safety pin pushed through two wires,and came home,
so no pics,no BBQ,and no burgers,
will need to check the joints on all 4 cables,
the switch is only just over 12 months old,really annoying

Oh dear. Good luck with that. That's about the 4th time I've been expecting to meet you John but we're never at the same meets. It was heaving but cold. Took one photo which is too big at the moment.

 all sorted,I even re-soldered the other wires incase they were "dry" joints or weak,

this was after a great 150 mile ride around mid-wales a week earlier,


 fingers crossed,every thing seems ok now,so looking forwards to next wednesday evening -))))

Used a few Cruzinimage kits now and I would say that if you throw away the float valves they are 100%. Everytime I use the float valves I cannot stop the leaks. And its not just one carb, they take it in tuns to empty your tank. I use the kits and pay for genuine Honda valves. Seems to work.
