Honda-SOHC

I've had serious issues with that company too.  Most recently on a pair of sloper wheels with spokes too short.  I think I built those wheels 11 times as they kept asking for more and more photos. They kept quoting their 'bible' and years of experience and wanted us to pay for another set to my dimensions.  I said that if they were so confident that the ones they sent were correct, then put them back on the shelf and sell them to someone else and provide us with sets to my dimensions.  They accused me of lacing them incorrectly (more pics) then the rims must be wrong so I used a profile gauge on them and the originals (more pics) I was really pissed off with them by the end and will never deal with them again or recommend them to others.  Whether their system has changed or their 'bible' has been computerised (with all that that entails) I don't know but must have had 30 sets of spokes supplied correctly by them in the past without problems.
I can feel my blood pressure rising as I write this!  I was doing this as a favour for a mate!

I would not mind Ian but I sent them samples from the front and rear wheels, inner and outer spokes and they still got one of them wrong 

found one here when the frame was just in primer

see it here

I have a mint unused original Honda one tucked away and a stainless replica one on the bike  and lets just say it cost me more than £1100

Matt,
           Mine is a standard size garage but with an extension in the side, triangular like a wedge of cheese.
About 10 feet at the top end down to a point at the door.
I don't have any moisture issues but the roof is well insulated, makes it warm enough to work with a fleece on, no gloves or hat and no cold fingers 
10 minutes on full and then down to middle setting it has used nearly a litre of diesel in about 2.5 hours.
I got the idea from the boats we hire on the broads 36ft by 12ft and they keep it nice and toasty.

Saw this picture on Facebook.
I was lucky enough to see him in the IOM in his comeback year.
Totally different riding style, very tucked in behind the fairing.
 Suzuki said they had never seen slicks worn as far around the tyre

Aye,

It's a bit of a challenge finding stuff for more obscure models but worth it in the end I believe.
I did wonder about the tyre size after posting that comment, it's easy to assume all those tyre sizes are still available as they used to be.
 But even rear 19" tyres for my Commando are becoming difficult now as well.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Cheers
I forgot to add to that I put the badges on the opposit sides so I didnnt get to like them and remind me that I still need to try and get the originals.
