CB350/400 / WoW - Chroming is how much for the front mudguard????« on: February 11, 2022, 05:02:33 PM »
Hi,
popped into the local chroming place I have used before to get a price for chroming the front mudguard. They quoted me £400 and they even smiled as they said it. I did check it was chrome and not gold plated! That's ridiculous, I can only assume they are pricing me out. Looks like a repo one for me. Any good places to get one? 6

I've mislaid one of the screws for attaching the cam chain horse shoe. I see they drilled through, can i get away with just an ordinary bolt? Also, do you loctite them in?

CB350/400 / Crank Finally Measured by Engineering Firm but I'm confused« on: November 17, 2021, 05:43:30 PM »
I must admit now that i'm a little of of my depth.
Firstly I had a local engineering firm measure the crank up but when i look at the manual it looks likes it's too worn. Is that correct? I also had connecting rods measured with the bearings (at least 3 anyhow!) but i'm not sure where this leads me. I'm think bolt the connecting rods on, plastigauge for clearance for bearing size??? 9
CB350/400 / Another bearing journal topic« on: April 21, 2021, 03:43:18 PM »
Hi, had a go at measuring the clearance on one journal using plastic gauge (grey). There's a first time for everything. Not got my hands dirty since I got rid of my MKII escort some 25 years ago
The bearing looks shot but the journal in tolerance I think according to the manual. 11

Hi,
i did look at some of the older post reference the rear brake return spring. I'm sure mine is wrong as the spring does not have any tension. Please take a look at the pictures and tell me where i have gone wrong! Thanks 12
CB350/400 / Front Brake Assemby Picture (on the bike)« on: February 16, 2021, 05:55:03 PM »
Hi,
having a bit of drama with bits n bobs on the Honda. So I've stopped working in the headlight and electrics as my little brain is confused. I thought I would add the front brake hose assembly etc. Can someone take a picture of it attached to the forks (brake block that holds the switch) and just for comfort, around the caliper itself/ thanks in advance 13
