hi gary...I can answer your questions!!I started and run an owners club for the cb750f2 Honda britains and phil read replicas.i have 2 reads and 3 britains rangeing from show room condition to a bag of bits.you can find the site at www.cb750f2hondabritainoc.co.uk The original exhaust for the Honda Britains were made by Colin Seeley and had a tiny stamp saying SEELEY on the end can.These are super,super rare.I have a heavily patched one which i'll get rechromed one day.I also have 2 complete silencer systems which are an exact copy of the original and only missing the SEELEY stamp which couldn't be put on for copyright reasons.I am trying to locate all the surviving Reads and Britains so have a pretty comprehensive list of most but not all so get in touch..my details are on the website...ta John

re.exhaust stud .....I had one shear off when I had a cb750 engine in bits.tried the stud extractor method....useless....that snapped off and the guy at an engineering firm couldn't drill it out because the extractor was too hard.i was recommended having it 'spark eroded' at a nearby company(Derbyshire).they made a superb job..the original threads were left undamaged and they only charged me 20 quid....well happy....

anyone see the prr at Stafford?the seller was a trader from the north west who wanted 3 grand for it.it was a bit tatty but had the correct tank and other bits.Marshall exhaust and seat was wrong but worth a punt if you want one of these.i have the vendors number somewhere on my mobile......john

I have been contacted by a classic bike magazine who are running an article on 1970's race replica bikes and are looking for a Phil Read Replica to use/review/photo in the article.Mine,unfortunately is being resprayed and unlikely to be ready for a month or so,otherwise i'd be snapping their hand off to get mine on the front cover.The mag is based in the south so are looking for local owners,or someone prepared to travel.could this be you??let me know.....finally......if you do have a Read Rep,or Honda Britain,why havnt you joined the owners club I run you tight a**es........john w.
