CB750 / combined reg/rec
« on: July 28, 2015, 11:46:07 AM »
having done a few searches regarding rectifiers etc, is it a good idea to fit a combined reg/rec instead of the standard set up? and if so, which is the best one to buy? thanks.

Project Board / phil read/honda britain
« on: July 09, 2015, 09:53:33 PM »
well, it's a start...



this is the beginnings of a phil read rep that i recently purchased. i'm picking up a honda britain in a couple of weeks as well and both will be worked on side by side, although priority will be given to the britain as it's all there, so i'll post progress as and when.

Recommended Sources for Parts and Services / chrome plating
« on: March 12, 2015, 08:13:02 PM »
there are probably quite a few recommendations for chromers but the one i use is TK plating shrewsbury. the only thing is, they chrome what you send. if you send a part with some rust on, they will plate over it. i always buff my own parts anyway so this isnt a problem for me. quick postal service and the plating is good quality.

silly question but can one of you PRR owners measure the width at the handlebars please. my gsxr squeezed nicely down the side of my house so i think it would be wise to check! the honda would not be the kind of bike to leave on the drive. ta.

hello. i'm finally (or will be in april) in a position to buy myself a reasonably priced phil read rep having had the poster on my wall in my youth. i currently ride a 650 versys which is a brilliant all rounder but i fancy going for a blat on a piece of history now and again. i had 3 classics which had to be sold to finance my sons uni costs but funds are better now. looks like a very helpful site anyway so i'll be lurking for a while until i find what i want.
pete.
