For what it's worth.
I have heard that the pipes the produce for the Suzuki Gt750.
Fit perfectly & are well regarded.
Regarding Chrome. I believe they are plated by Niphos in Crewe. A company I have used many times over many years. With excellent results.

So it would appear that the stainless option would not have a detrimental effect on the bikes originality. I asked because I thought it may have.
Stainless it is then. Off to Alan Atkinson I go. He has built a few wheels gor me previously.
Thank you all for your advice.

SOHC Singles & Twins / Spoke advice please.

Hello.
I have a very nice CB175 K6. Built using about 80% nos parts.
The wheels are original. I polished the spokes about 10 years ago. But a few are now showing rust. Even though it lives as an ornament in my living room.
So I ask. Should I just replace the rusted spokes, have all the spokes re, plated, replace with new zinc spokes or stainless.
Thank in advance.

I have two cb175 k6. But I do prefer the look of the earlier model.
Especially in gold. I think this is due to the first one I saw back in 71 being gold. I thought it looked lovely.  A proper big bike. In miniature.
Love riding the 175. Great fun.

I still think the TT & Mgp are better value than british moto GP.
Thought I never thought I would say it. I do find the TT a bit of a bore
In recent years. Too corporate and lacking character,s

I will also be going over.
I see they are begging for Marshalls already. I think there will be
a marked reduction in numbers after the IoM gov made such a mess of the event as of last year. 5 races likely yo be shortened or cancelled due to weather. With no time to reschedule..

I would say. The pipes are correct. But the tank badges, sre not

I believe there is a place in Lancaster.

Project Board / Re: Starter switch

The starter button simply connects the yellow/red wire to the switch cluster body. Therefore making earthing it to the handlebars.

CB750 / Re: 750k1 tyre wear?
« on: July 15, 2023, 01:10:36 PM »
It is possible that the brakes are not working evenly. As I have had a lot trouble with them. Squealing etc.

The tyre's are Bt45,s
The bike has twin disc conversion.
The wear is consistent with the road camber. But I would not have expected it to show so soon. I will check for wheel alignment. The bike rides well & true.
Thank you all for your inputs.
Sean.
