Honda-SOHC

Dave, I'm in disgrace.....I live right here in Shadwell and didn't even know this was going on! 

Thank you, as per previous advice I’ve seen here I will put a piece of white paper close to the front tappets and check for splashes.

I presume the amount of oil will be sufficient that there would be no doubt that it’s there?

Bit of an update, made up a gauge and ignition brackets out of 2mm steel bent in a vice with lots of mapp gas, lots of hacksawing and even more filing.  Really happy with the results!

I visited the Bike Shed Show in Shadwell (or The Bike Beard Show) in East London last night. To me this is the best motorcycle show as its all one-off builds and some of the ingenuity has to be seen to be believed.

One particular bike was based on a 650 V-Twin Honda and it is a Steam punk build called Isambard. It was built as homage to Brunel and is based on one of his locos. When you first see it looks ugly but looking at it closely the build is pretty special especially the copper work for the water cooling and the sight glass used for the fuel tank level. The cockpit resembles a steam train as do the front forks and the throttle cables!

Some other really nice bikes were there as well including a really neat 500 Honda and a unique Kawasaki Z900 for those who want to keep biking on four wheels when they can no longer manage two!

The show is on over the next two days and really worth a visit. They show the MGP in the cinema, there are live bands, craft beers, food and a really nice vibe.

Hi all, I am after 2 x cylinder studs for my CB500 and can`t find any anywhere? does anyone know of or has a couple that they would sell please.
#thank you
