just received a set of shoes for my 500/K1
they didn't fit ,the mounting points were about 3mm to wide,and would have needed some refinishing to fit ,
anyone had this issue before?
the part number PH316 from DSS at Leiston,
they are going to check with an original Honda shoe,from their US base .
failing them have the right ones,were do I get a set ?

hi all,
you know I recently rebuilt a little RD125 Yamaha.
I have a problem.the points cam is badly corroded,and acts like a cheese grater on the points heels,
typically these are unobtainable ,
so,could it be repaired the same as a camshaft?
worn surface cleaned p,and fresh metal applied,then machined back to standard??
I thought of camshaft makers/modifiers,
do you know anyone that may be able to do this work ?
thanks in advance

about 4 or 5 years ago I fitted twin discs,during this I renewed the lower flexi brake pipesm, fast forward to yesterday,,the MOT tester said I need to renew both as the outer casing is cracked through to the inners, bare in mind the original Honda pipe lasted about 35 years,do you think 5 years is satisfactory for a modern replacement  I prefer the covered look,not shiny mesh , what do you think ?

hi all,
just need advise on which is the best place to connect a power lead for a sat-nav ?
ideally it will be switched on/off via the ignition,the negative lead can just be earthed ,
thanks in advance,
bike is CB500 K2 ,as my profile pic

hi all,
after several years of using Giffgaff (on the O2 network) ,I am thinking of swopping to Plusnet ,using the EE network,
I know most networks work around bigger cities,and are hopeless out in the sticks,
the cost saving is only small,but I just want better !!!
I tend to get out and about both on the bike and by car,so your info would help,does your area have good coverage ?
do you know any "black" holes ?
in august I was coming back from North Wales,and got a rear wheel puncture,amazingly I had full phone coverage,!!
thanks all.

I know its winter,and we can't get out on the sohc,so an idle mind starts to wonder1 if I ever wanted to rebuild the top end of my 500,and it needed a rebore and pistons,could I use the original 550 std size pistons ? they are 58.5 mm dia,use the same stroke,use the 550 gasket set,and still have 2 over sizes to go, any reason why not ?? and for future reference,what size should they be bored to ? 58.55 ?? or is that to tight ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/74-78-HONDA-CB550K-STANDARD-SIZE-PISTONS-SET-4-PISTONS-INCLUDE-10-CB550KPS-/262643526993?hash=item3d26c62d51
