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.

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..

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

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.
