Hi all, does anyone know where I might get a picture or diagram showing where the wiring harness clips fit to the frame. I have some diagrams from the manuals that show harness route, but clip positions are not clear. Bike is a 1971 CB500K0 that I have rebuilt, having bought it as several boxes of bits. (Imported from US and UK registered in 97)
Many thanks
Raymond

Andrew-S, that was why I asked the question. I had noted the different numbers, but cannot see any difference between the two I have, other than the the possible difference in curvature.

Can someone tell me what the difference is between a right hand and left hand tank badge on a 1971 CB500K0?
Many thanks

The sizes are also in the parts list, which lists the float bowl size as 67 x 1.9 and the fuel T as 7.8 x 1.9.

If you just want the o rings to rebuild the carbs you can buy them individually on eBay from specialist suppliers such as sealsuppliesuk at a fraction of the cost of the specialist kits. I got enough for 6 sets of carbs for £20. You also have the option to upgrade to Vito seal if you prefer.

Bryan, it is a bottom compression ring (i.e. the middle ring) that is broken. The rings are standard.
Thanks Bryan
Julie, will duties and kidnap fees apply if the cost is only £36 + £9 p&p.

Has anyone used Cruzinimage_uk piston rings? When I came to refit my pistons yesterday, I found one ring broken. Many expletives were voiced as the were all fine and within spec when I had removed and refitted them to clean the pistons.

Yes, I understand that and have the same understanding from the aerospace industry, where anything that can be replace in service was basically an accessory, including things such as fuel and hydraulic pumps etc. However, many of the o rings that are not included in this set are engine parts, such as the o ring on the gearbox counter shaft and the oil passage plug and caps seals.

No it isn’t. If o rings were not gaskets, then there would be no o rings in the gasket set. This is a language / translation issue. I have a background in aero engines, and dealt with the Japanese for a significant proportion of my career, and can assure you that the Japanese do describe an o ring as a gasket. Normally, if it’s a static seal it’s a gasket, if its a rotational seal it’s a seal. This is about commercial convenience nothing more. As I said if they described what they sell as a gasket set I would not have a problem. It is not a “full” gasket set.

I don’t have a problem with what DS are selling. What I object to is them knowingly misdescribing it as a full gasket set. If they dropped the word full, and just sold it as a gasket set, I would be more than happy. The fact that all suppliers are doing it does not make it right. Rant over.
