You can mix pictures in with your descriptive text if you host them externally.

There's a FAQ on the US site on how to do it:

It was a good price so I wouldn't be too disappointed.

The CB650Z had twin disks (thanks Google...)

So he may have left one of them off (?)

And that's a 500/550 caliper (the 650 calipers were completely different)

I saw that one.

I liked the paintwork!

It doesn't look like a 550 disc so it's possible that the front wheel and disk both come from a donor bike.
It could have been a Superdream (?)
I can't think of another Honda with comstars and one disk (Bryan?)

Why don't you ask the PO - get his details from the V5C before the guy sends it off!

Great story!

One of the reasons that I asked was because there are very few monoshocked 500/4s around and I thought I'd found evidence of another. But it's the same bike that I remember. As soon as I saw the mag picture with the pipes and the paint job I knew it.

Small world.

I have a fairly radical 500/4 that was built by Frank Cooper in Reading in the 80's.
Home made electronic ignition, instruments (digital speedo/rev counter/battery level), Yam XS400 alloys, Yam XS750 headlamp, homemade seat and home made exhaust fitted to original Motad headers.

I also used Halfords VHT "Aluminium" Engine Paint on my Sprint - it matches the alloy footrest hangers perfectly.

Hello Andy. Long time since we've spoken (North Weald about 2/3 years ago - you were there on your Seeley)

Don't know the answer I'm afraid but welcome back anyway.

I tried Googling it but no joy. So "don't know" I'm afraid.

Den, the guys in the States  say that using steel wool on ally will result in tiny bits of steel being rubbed into the surface which then oxidises.

Never seen it myself but thought I'd mention it.

Is that the one that he rebuilt for the mag?

On the 500 with the Rickman fairing the clocks stay bolted to the top yolk (ignition switch under the tank).

The headlamp mounted on a "stalk" and poked out of the front of the fairing and ace bars were required to stop the bars from fouling but other than that there were no mods. You could ride the bike with the fairing removed (looked a bit odd though!)

Here's how it works with the Rickman F2, you'll notice that the Rickman top yolk includes brackets that allow the ignition switch to be moved with the clocks (although in the flesh the "brackets" are a fairly amateurish-looking pair of alloy strips...)

Hello mate!

You might get more joy with www.hoc.org.uk for the more modern bikes. Although we specialise in 70's SOHC Hondas here, some of us (me included) have one or more DOHC bikes.

Nah mate! Mine was a 500 so didn't have those idiot lights "floating" in mid air in the middle of the cockpit!

Does that mean we won't be hearing from you again Dave?

ex-pats are allowed on here you know - even though most of the Aussies hang out on soh4.net

Are you going to look up Terry? (or should that be "lock up" Terry ?)
