I have a great  spray company to recommend but too far away from you. An old mate of mine is a top sprayer,he does David beckham football boots for him.

All local company's around here like big jobs. I assumed you had them done around the Corby area. I am always out and about, but Great Yarmouth is only a nice visit in the summer.

Just found this interesting question. One of the best ways to protect chrome over winter is good old Vaseline, then hot jet wash off in spring. Engine can be coated in WD40. Fill the tank, Not empty it. Apply a good wax to paint work. And I've found a good blow out to the carbs with a air line is good enough. If you want to spend money,try Storeacar who charge from £8.50 to ??? for dehumidified per week. Or upset the wife by storing it in her kitchen.

Can you tell me where you had them done and what did they charge you?. You are only down the road from me. It may be worth me giving them a bell.

Just had another look at howmanyleft who recon there is also 149 licensed and 134 sorn of model CD250u-k. Not sure about this sites information because it records  show under CB550F1, 1 licensed & 3 on sorn. That can't be right.

That is a beautiful bike mate. I was looking for one to use as a winter bike,but ended up with a GSX-R 400 gk71b. The CD250u in good condition can fetch good money these days. There is still a lot about. The system says there are 78 on Sorn, so still loads tucked away in garages and sheds somewhere.

I am restoring a CB550F at the moment and can not make up my mind on to polish the hubs or have them powder coated with this so-called Super chrome powder coat. Has anyone had any parts powder coated with super chrome?. The last hubs i had polished looked naff after a couple of months due to brake dust.

You should of kept the CD250u, I gave mine to a mate this summer and it's still going strong in Greece. The challange was not just the ride. My mate bought the bike for his missus in 1988, she got pregnant and never touched it, i kept asking him how much he wanted for it, but always got the same answer, "It owes me too much". In 2003 i did some work on his drag bike, getting it ready for Santa Pod. He didn't like my bill so gave me the CD250U. It had stood for so long that the center stand was solid. Two new tyres, a oil change and 3 cans of WD40,and it was back to life again. 2300 miles in three days later the old CD250 was used to get me to the beach and back.

Bryanj is right. I would pass it, but would wright it down as an advisory just to cover my arse. Try making a little bracket to side mount it (facing rear). The police are a little funny about licence plates that can only read by pilots, should have no complaints from the helicopter police.

Great little bikes. Anything with a roller bearing crank goes on for ever,if looked after. In 2003 took a CD250U to Greece as a challenge. Arse felt like it had been on a spanking weekend in Amsterdam by the time i got to Italy.
