I am a little confused about the stays 750 and 500K0 are 8mm holes in the stays, no rubbers or spacers. Just a bolt and washer
Def sounds like carbs to me Ash...

Been busy cleaning up and satinizing the fork lowers (like original Honda ones were surface finished) on all of my projects including this 500K0 (apart from the 400/4 & the CB175) So that's 12 fork lowers to do . I have set myself a task of a leg a day and so far so good. Luckily I had a NOS set of CB250K0 forks to replicate the finish from. Unfortunately, although NOS, they had a couple of chunks out of them so still needed the full works. Bought some Eastwood Diamond Clear coat to re-lacquer but not tried it out yet.Still waiting for Yamiya bits from Japan to rebuild the engine ( primary chain & dampers, primary ball bearings & needle roller bearing )

Just out of interest, have you any bikes on the road at the moment and when was the last time you rode a bike?
My original camshaft had a couple of tiny pits on two lobes so I decided I would get a replacement, as the rest of head looked nice and I want to do the best job I can. I got a nice cam from DK which , for reasons I won't go into, I ended up getting for free. I measured the run-out in my head and it is 0.05 mm which is half of the allowed service limit but when I put it in my head, oiled up and rotate it there is a tight spot, nothing serious but slight resistance to turning never had that before. Any ideas anyone?
Six sets of forks on the go at once Ash. You must be a glutten for punishment.
