 I've got a new universal one I cut down that should be going on soon, i.e. before the other one falls off!

yes, will do. It has seen plenty of salt before, the bike is pretty ratty. I've got 'special' holes in the rear mudguard that let the salt out

There's definitely a storm brewing, just putting the bikes inside for the winter, I can't believe that's another riding season over 😭😭😭😭
Having spent the entire summer trying to get my bike working properly following a winter rest, and having only ridden about 20 miles altogether during summer, I have decided I'm keeping mine going this winter.

CB500 four, continually used since rebuild in 1995. I'm pretty sure the forum was text only in those days and my computer was Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Bought my bike for £150 in some boxes.

On mine, I have the needles in the standard position but I have larger main jets. I also have individual filters. Runs perfectly.
To determine if your needle position is correct you will need to look at the colour of the spark plugs.

I've got one and I think it is OK. It's still on a wheel. Not chrome plated.

I agree with John, don't do it too tight, you can always give it an extra nip later if it leaks. I have a spare filter bolt in my toolbox which I kept from years ago so wouldn't have to wait for a replacement if ever it gets stuck. Haven't needed it yet.

I like that, what a great expression. I only ride it to the shops or to work.

It’s a barn find. Each day I go to the barn and there it is, next to my tractor.

 My machine is named Florence so I guess it's Florence and the Steve. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Looks very nice but at £6000 seems very expensive.

Hi,
Looking at the Delkevic four into one stainless steel exhaust pipe. There are some springs between the downpipes and the silencer which I am wondering what they are for and whether they could be removed?
thanks,
