I like the breakdown cover with CN. Last year I got a cheaper quote from FJ and CN matched it.  :)

I assume that I'm not the only one to get an email from DSS today, asking me to enter a competition.

A good cheap way to validate their email lists...

My issue is with the list of options for where you heard of them:
  • Internet
  • Press
  • Friend
  • Dealer
  • Honda UK

There's not box for "SOHC4 Forum"   :'(

Pete: he was Kaceyf2 (changed bikes I presume...)

Kacey: it's Dave Degens. Here he is a couple of years back on Eamon's Dresda 900

It came in a small tube and looked like red hermatite when you squeezed it out. I have no idea whether it is still available (or even legal) anymore...

I've probably posted this before but...

Late 70's fix (proven on the 5 or 6 SOHC4s that we had outside our student residence in those days)

  • Remove coils, clean thoroughly and place in warm airing cupboard overnight
  • Rough up the area around the join between the HT lead and the coil body with a sharp screwdriver
  • Apply RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) rubber compound around joint
  • Back to the airing cupboard for a couple of hours

Worked for us!

I hacked the disintegrating silencers off my CB175 and replaced them with Dunstall Decibel "silencers".

My mum used to say that she could hear me from two villages away!

Do you like the sunglasses?

The early 750s used candy paint schemes.

Like these?

Don't bin them.

One of the guys on here had my old Rickman rack for a rechrome and those old black Rickman boxes must be collectors items!

I dont think anyone will re-manufacture them as the costs would be too great for the limited market

I'm not so sure - they did it for the 350/4

Welcome - it was probably me...

Whilst its apart, you might as well inspect everything, although dead big ends are very rare. If the rings are in bits you need to check the bores as you may need to rebore before rebuilding.

Keep us informed as to what you find (with pics if possible)
