Honda-SOHC

Still available if anyone is interested.

I also have some NOS rear brake pedals for the 550F if you're interested.

Lesters on a K3, what a waste 

Love the CBX, proper bit of engineering to make that exhaust.

Is the kidney splitter a pressed metal one of a reversed engraved or Perspex one?

I've got to say I disliked the metal ones when they were fitted in the 70s but a nice single sided plate that's easy to clean makes a real difference. Even though my front guard is ABS plastic off a Cb900FZ I may think about getting some brackets and fitting one now.

Plus a perspex one would shatter rather than maim like the metal versions in the event of an accident of course.

Looks ok from the left side, probably seat not latched.

Little tip, check the side stand, they can get a slight bend in them from setting off with the stand down, usually bends them backwards a little, this then causes the stand to hit No1 exhaust pipe and denting it. Yours look ok but try just flicking the stand up with your foot and see if it gets close or hits. Best to fix this now if it does before it dents a nice new exhaust.

I have some mods in the pipeline for the side stand on a 500, mainly engine cutoff if you set off with it down, buzzer to warn you it is down when ignition on and a way of altering the angle it sits at so it doesn't hit the exhaust.

Another tip, try and route the HT leads across the top of the engine, stops them arcing better, stops water being forced down the lead and into the cap as it faces forward your way, also if the engines running and you reach down to switch the key you stand a chance of a shock as your hand gets close to the lead, not pleasant getting a nice shock when it's raining. Best bet is to reverse the coils so the leads come out of the back instead of the front, can mean you need to swap the coils over so 1-4 is on the right instead of the left etc. Believe me it's a worthwhile mod and it tends to look tidier afterwards with no leads dangling across the exhausts.

You getting rid of the kidney splitter? looks nice with it on.

Whoever restored that did a decent job.

One last tip, try removing the engine bolts at the front, the ones that go through the engine casing. Do one at a time, grease them up and refit. I'm having to get some out of an old casing that have bonded themselves in, heat, hammer and impact gun having no effect, a little preventative work now can save a LOT of work years done the line. I'd do them all TBH but that's up to you. Those bolts are really exposed and get really battered by the weather etc.

Bet you're not doing much business though Roo, those fishnet tights make your legs look like waffles when you take them off 

Genuine or aftermarket points. Aftermarket are well known to cause this problem.

And yes, adjust gap to compensate.

Wonder why he'd throw them in a Honda box though?

You may be onto something there. A quick search of Ebay shows some Kwack covers that look very similar. I'll have to get the covers in my hands and compare them against the pics later, first one looks like Z750/650 and second one maybe Z550.

I was trawling through some of the crankcase bolts and there are some bolts not Honda in there as well, maybe he's thrown them in the wrong box.

No it just looks silver in colour Ted.
