If they keep pushing me, I'm gonna buy a KH750, paint it flourescent green, and ride it round Westrminster until the plugs foul. Every day. With expansion pipes on. Dripping unburnt hydrocarbons and leaving clouds of blue smoke.
Good, you can take over from me if you like. I'm a regular around Parliament square, that top hatted twit Steve Bray knows and hates me!  ;D

This is very sad Ted. My condolences to all who loved Morgan.

Much it seems is being made of the fact that today my special oil for evil ancient petrol burning classic motorcycles from the era of unlimited pollution will be delivered to me on an electric vehicle. Are they trying to tell me something?  ;)

Why not seek help from your local social circle, one of your mates must have a bigger oven!  ;D

CB350/400 / Re: CB400F Oil pressure switch slow leak

Are you sure the source of this leak isn't actually the seal for the oil pump housing? I'm about to have mine replaced also, it was missing from the seal kit I got for a recent rebuild. Maybe it is a semi-orphaned thing?  ;D

Is Simoniz Engine Enamel considered the best paint to get?

I don't want the cylinder liners to move while in the oven...on the K7 the head is bolted to the cylinders with M6 bolts and I was going to do that and place it right way up in the oven...so the tops of the liners are against the cylinder head...

Would that work folks or is there a better way?

Surely this is the very hottest part of the engine and as such a few hours of riding might do the job okay?

Didn't the Yamaha EXUP have a similar system at one time?
Just took a look at one on the web. Those two round intakes with tubes...... I remember one at Boxhill ( Biker haunt ) someone asked the owner 'now what does this do apart from making the fairing hard to take off'?  ;D

For a few months I rode a GT380, the only air cooled two stroke I ever had. Anyone got an opinion if it made any difference or was it just a gimmick?  :-\

One thing has me wondering though, the 50th anniversary of the CB400F is in 2025, why a year early?  :-\  Is Diane Abbott on his staff? ;D
