That would mean you could regrind a crank, does anybody know if the journals are hardened cos i dont

If needing treatment after grind, process like this available https://aalberts-st-heat.co.uk/tufftride-qpq#:~:text=The%20Tufftride%C2%AE%20process%20of,the%20characteristic%20black%20surface%20finish. Suitable for materials that can't accept nitride treatment.

Honda always list alternate sprockets but they were designed with a ratio and yes, compared to british iron, they do seem to rev high BUT its higher up the rev band they give rated power, the 500 handbook says not to go out of the top of the red too often

There are many ways to paint candy garnet brown.
I once saw a trick with a metallic brown base and a candy gold top layer. It worked quite well although it was a bit to brown in my eyes.
Easiest is a green metallic base with a candy orange top.

I use sikkens paint for the base paint and a German company for my candies.

And yes - always do a layer of clear before starting lines and black.

well I might have to keep the set up then as a 15T and 35T ......... the running of the bike is fine now ..well near on anyway ..but the revs just seem to be so high :(

oh the other thing is I have been on the DSS and looked at Ashley`s parts list and they did do a 17T sprocket for the Bomber so it must have been able to run with a 17T ha

Have you considered that running 17/35 sprockets has dropped your revs for running speed and may be contributing to your running problem? It was designed to cruise at a certain rev range

Hi Bryan

Well I am using the bike so don`t want to take it off the road yet if you know what I mean......... so just wondered if someone has one already got one off that they could do a dimension check ?

Hi Guys

yes it is a big ask to try the 17T front just wanted to bring the revs down as its doing about 6.000 rev`s at 55 mph so was just going to try that set up...... But ha ho can`t even get a rear sprocket..... I am Not a Rich man ..... and about a £100 + P+P for a sprocket is just Dam robbery....... Like you say Ash they must be someone doing an after market one... BUT I can`t fined one  :'(

 PS, I am Not used to the high Revving Honda :)
