CB500/550 / Wheel rebuild
« on: July 19, 2022, 01:51:22 PM »
I fear I may have to rebuild my front wheel this winter. Can anyone here recommend a good person, not too expensive?

yes, the gearboxes are almost identical and much easier to find.

That is amazing, Carol Nash wanted £167, thanks very much.
Is that with MC club membership? 65
CB500/550 / Insurance Value« on: June 13, 2022, 02:59:35 PM »
I am just renewing my insurance and was surprised how much my premium had gone up and so I am in the process of looking for other quotes.
I haven't thought about or changed my bikes value for many years. What do we think is a reasonable amount to put for a scruffy, perfectly running and well maintained CB500/4 considering what it would cost to replace if someone stole it? 66

My CB250K had phosphor bronze bushes put in as a modification. I replaced them in 1985 with standard ones as they had worn out. I don't know how long they had been in there as they had been done by the previous owner but they looked like a good bit of work. I still have them somewhere, will try to dig them out.

are you sure the movement is coming from the bearing itself? The swing arm on these bikes does flex a little as the MOT man used to show me.

Hello everybody.
Well. it's lasted a good few years but finally my old Laser pipe has rusted so badley there is now a hole. Does anyone have a similar pipe lying around in their workshop that they would like to sell? Also, I noticed Nurse Julie, you had a similar stainless version on one of your bikes. Where did you get it from? 71

Excellent as ever Bryan, thanks very much.
Just ordered some 5.5mm ID claims to be E10 safe so fingers crossed. 74
