New Member Introductions / Hi from Essex

« on: February 28, 2012, 05:10:22 PM »

Joined a couple of weeks ago so thought i would introduce myself. I have a CB550F2 Supersport 1977 and a CB750F2 Supersport 1978 and a 1996 Triumph Thunderbird. Both Honda's are being worked on at the moment. Several items are being re-chromed then hopefully i can get them back on the road. I must say the forum is a great place for help and everyone is really friendly. Is there anybody nearby, I live in Upminster, Essex,
Cheers Mike

I am having problems starting the bike. New battery fully charged but when trying to start the battery drains quickly and the starter motor is labouring. Looks like the starter is faulty. Does anyone know where i can get it reconditioned fairly locally to Upminster, Essex

CB750 / CB750F2 Supersport 1978

Hi this is my first post so please be patient. I am overhauling the front brakes and have come up against a problem. The LH front caliper is actually a RH fitted to a LH carrier. This means the standard length brake pipe will not fit. Does anybody know what other models had the same single piston twin caliper setup as i am having trouble getting a replacement for the LH. I have been told that early CX500 (single disc on LH side) and 1979 CB900 had the same calipers but have so far been unable to find out if it's true. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
