Fair enough.
I've just ordered a pair.

They look promising. I'll check them out.
Anybody used them 2 up?
Thank you.

I wouldn't mind the rear springing being stiffer as I weigh 14 stone and my wife, a regular pillion passenger, weighs 10 stone so it may be what we need.
Shorter or longer shocks certainly will affect the rear ride height and therefore the geometry. I'm just asking how big the effect is being as how Hagon specify the 310's for bikes that originally had 320's fitted.

I'm looking to fit a set of Hagon 2810 adjustable spring/damper units to my 1974 CB350F in place of the worn OEM units. These OEM units are 320mm centre to centre.
Hagon don't specifically list this bike in their catalogue but Part No 31011 is listed for the later CB400F/F2 and the CB350T of the same period. This damper is 310mm centre to centre. Hagon don't have a 320mm damper with a forked lower fitting in their 2810 range. Would I notice the difference with a 10mm shorter damper? The next size up is 335mm which would jack the back end up 25mm (1") over standard.

When I bought my CB350F I thought that there was a leak from the cam cover joint but it turned out to be coming from one of the chrome bolts on the end of the rocker shaft. The alloy crush washers can be replaced by Dowty washers which have an integral O ring seal and do a much better job.

I had a special made up just like the one posted by Spitfire.

Don't forget that when you adjust the idle screws you are only changing the mixture at idle and perhaps just a little above that. The idle screw certainly won't be affecting the mixture at 4000 revs and above.

Electrex World for me too on my CB350F.
All the plugs match up perfectly with the Honda harness.
The mounting points may not match up though. Mine certainly didn't.

Thanks for the replies. I have ordered a Motobatt and a CTEK charger to look after it.

I am looking to replace the battery on my CB350F and I would like to fit an AGM unit but I have had a bad experience with one in the past.
My Moto Guzzi California III managed to overheat an Odessy battery causing the plates to buckle, the acid to boil and the casing to split. I suspect that it was caused by poor regulation of the alternator output. The bike had a Saprisa permanent magnet alternator so the regulator was basically a Zener type and it seemed to produce 14v or more under almost all conditions.
I have fitted an Electrex World RR24 Rectifier/Regulator to the Honda so it should be a great deal more sophisticated.
Does anyone out there have any experience of AGM or Gel batteries with these modern solid state control units?

I just used the standard tank with an extension fuel tube standing on a nearby box.
As Oddjob says balancing the carbs is the very last job after you've set up the ignition and the valve clearances.

I used a Morgan for my BMW Boxer and Moto Guzzi Cali III and it was accurate and easy to use. For my CB350F I bought a set of the cheap blue metal gauges with damper valves and they work fine too.
If you want to second guess your gauges you can always swap the pipes around after you've got a good balance to see if any of the readings vary significantly.

Generally if the solenoid clicks but the starter doesn't spin the engine it's because it's not getting any/enough current.
Did you disturb any of the wires to the solenoid when you fitted the rectifier?
Also check the main power leads to the solenoid and starter motor. Also check the heavy duty earth lead at the battery and frame connecting points.

Not really any particular order.
What you will probably find is that 2 or 3 of the cylinders are very close together so then you just adjust the others to the same value.

I know.
That's why I ended up using ballast resistors with the DSS coils.
