CB500/550 / Re: Swing Arm Fitment« on: February 13, 2009, 07:45:44 AM »
Not 100% sure. I think it will but the length, width and chain line will be different. Doesnt look like the swing arm in the chop is altered so that ought to transfer.
Most difficult bits will be headlamp brackets and top yoke/clocks etc. Most expensive bit will be chrome rear mudguard and side panels some parts i have but not all are for sale 9933

If you look arround the thread edge of the screwed in retainer you will see 4 points where it looks like somebody used a centre punch. you need to dill down with a 1/8 drill (ish) till you have removed the deformed metal to allow the retainer to unscrew.
Now i seem to remember that one of them is a L/H thread and i think its the rear---but dont take that as gospel as its been a LONG time. Dont think much of your chromer if he has done a hub complete with bearing and grease in it!! 9936

Do you mean you have chromed the hubs? in which case getting the retainers out will wreck the chrome.
have you drilled out the "stakings?" Rust at the top of the legs dont show as its under the headlamp brackets 9939

Tell you what, if the bores were worn and oval that motor has been abused and run with no aircleaner, I can remember a 120,000 miler where even the ring gaps were still in tolerance!!!

G5 has 'lecy start CJ is kick only, apart from that mostly same.
BEFORE you lay out on an exhaust remove the top cover and check operation of cam chain tensioner and state of camchain plus cam bearings all it will cost is time + gasket goo. Clean out centrifugal oil filter on end of crank. At one time you could get pattern silencers to fit original front pipes. Mostly same as CB360 (more common in US) and i think Dave Silver has many parts. 650 plug give me a call sometime and i will talk you through it as best i can. Any other help ask and i will try Regards Bryan 9943

Now if this is a 750 and you have the head off those 6mm threaded studs/bolts holding the cam towers strip out regularly and better than helicoil is "keensert" which you can find at:-
http://www.specialty-fasteners.co.uk/category_sublist.php?catid=143&colorid=2&procatid=144&gclid=CJbwg_OntpgCFZiT3wodAXcFZg and look at the catalogue. They do do the spark plug one but you have to tap out to M16 and i dont know if the head has enough meat for that!! 9944

CB750 / Re: Looking for a connector block« on: January 30, 2009, 12:00:01 PM »
They are a fractionaly different size, I think the bullets are slightl bigger from memory which makes a good fit into the Honda loom connectors just crimp up the females a bit to make the original bullets fit tight----sounds a bit perverted when i re read that!
Dont forget the 2 and 3/4 way females with shrouds when you order |
