I have a pair of the CMS Shocks on my CB550  K1 and they look fantastic and seem to deliver a smooth ride.

Thank you..

I have been taking the bike for shorts rides around the neighborhood doing test n tune and feeling it out before i go any distance.

I waited a few rides to get the RPM's up and go a little faster. i noticed On WOT it was bogging at about 6500. so i ordered some slightly larger main jets #78 They still have not arrived. I noticed it was getting a little worse and doing it at about 5000 .

Not sure if anyone has had this happen? For 1 the rear brake light was stuck on. The battery was Not getting charged with my short little rides.I charged The battery overnight.

The first test ride it made it to redline and smoothly accelerated in all RPM ranges! Rode it for about 20 miles. all the plugs are a nice Amber. So I will not Be Yarding off the carburetors again to re jet.

Until i can afford/find a replacement lid for the air cleaner i was going to fabricate something for temporary .

I remembered i had a bag of old Phone covers and cases so i thought i would give it a try.

Just so happens a Galaxy Samsung S22 lid with a Patch on the camera window snaps down on the housing perfectly!
It doesn't look to bad either.

I am wondering If I am missing something simple here with removal and Installing the Rubber over the rear of the tank on my1975  CB400F?

When removing the tank for the first time a couple months ago i broke the rubber trying to pull it back far enough to clear the Tab .

I bought a new OEM Honda rubber. Putting it on the first time seemed like a super long stretch. Then when removing there is nothing really to grab on to. Using a hook i got it out far enough to get my fingers on it. Seems like the tab on the tank could be a quarter of its length.

Am i missing something ?

On the other Honda models its very easy
