"Classic Bike are going to run a 6-8 month series on restoring their own CB400F, though it may be slightly customized. There will be loads of useful tips on engine rebuilds etc so well worth following. They visited us today to collect the first batch of parts and take loads of photo's of our project and parts for background to theirs. — at David Silver Spares"

Hi,
My CB750K0 was painted in Candy Ruby Red by Andrew Parnaby (near Tadcaster) in 2011. He does a superb job but obviously not cheap. My '69 CB250SS (K0) needs painting soon and is two tone white and Candy ruby red. I don't really want to go over the top, cost wise, on painting it and I do know someone locally who does paint. Anyone know if there is a modern metallic paint shade that closely matches Candy Ruby Red. I went on a cruise last month and spotted a Renault in Israel that was painted in a red which was remarkably similar. Yes I know I won't have that magic 'toffee apple' finish but I just want to get the bike finished. The tank does not have pin stripes or decals so not sure if it needs clear coat. Also in 1986 I foolishly painted my '75 400/4 (pillion pegs on swinging arm model) in F2 Antares Red not Varnish blue. Anyone know a modern colour to match 'Varnish Blue'. I don't want to have 3 red bikes and in 2014 prefer the original blue !!
Cheers ... AshD

Hi , A few of us who are restoring really early CB250/350's 1968-1971 SS (K0) & K2 (also K1 only CB350 and in the USA) have started an email forum mainly to swap/sell ideas/parts/literature/services etc. Anyone interested just PM me and I will include you on the email list. I know there is HondaTwins.net, which is excellent, and I am indeed a member and a regular contributor there but there are a lot of 'UK/Europe' only features on these bikes and they are pretty rare now with the usual 'K0' hard to find items. I will still post on here as 'other bikes', anything of interest that I pick up, I am not deserting you, promise!!  Cheeers .... AshD

The guy from R & S Plating said the other day "Not really anything I can say, these forums are used by people who would rather moan via a keyboard than contact us direct".Does he have a point? I bought a pair of carbs from DK recently, which turned out to be rubbish and I had a good old moan on here but didn't phone them first. But people on here recommended I just contact them to explain, which I did and they sent me another set and said I could keep the original set and couldn't apologize enough. I just bought a CB350 toolbox from them and they sent a battery frame instead!! This time I just phoned them and they are sending the right part and again allowing me to keep the wrong part they sent. BTW have you seen the stuff DK pack their parts in, a kind of finely shredded plastic that has to be the messiest stuff ever. Oh dear moaning into my keyboard again  Cheers .. AshD

I am currently working 3 days /week for a company who make high pressure (160bar) water hydraulic pumps/motors and valves and air motors. We were badly flooded in December (1.2 metres of river / sea water) and the MD is buying a SH bead blaster to try to recover some of the rusted carbon steel components (the water hydraulic components are made from 316 ss so OK). It occurred to me that since we have two massive air compressors for testing air motors and make high pressure water pumps, it may be possible to make an aquablaster so that I can clean up all of my bike parts!! Anyone know how they are constructed? They are really expensive even second hand (around £10k compared with a bead blaster , around £2k). www.waterhydraulics.co.ukCheers .... AshD

After buying all sorts of overpriced junk or mis-described used parts on Ebay UK, I have finally found someone who honestly describes his parts, charges a fair price and has reasonable delivery charges to the UK (used MyHermes for my purchases). Just bought a few parts from him for my 250K0 and again spot on service and quality parts. You can tell by the way he carefully cleans and packs everything, the type of guy he is. He can be found here and his name is Frank Dorsch, in Germany. ( Otzberg-Classics). http://stores.ebay.co.uk/jap2wheelz/For instance look at this, he measures the selector forks so you can compare with the service limits in the manual. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CB350-Four-Schaltgabeln-shift-forks-/150921910601?pt=DE_Motorradteile&hash=item2323a59949There are a few people on Ebay UK I have used (e.g. FreddytheFatFrog), who have supplied good parts but they are few and far between in my experience. Or is it just me who has been unlucky!! Ebay USA used to be generally OK but the delivery/import/Parcelforce charges just don't make it viable any more. Cheers ..... AshD

I have a spare '69 CB250 SS (K0) frame. I bought the bike for parts ages ago for my resto and don't need the frame but it's got no VIN stamped into the headstock. I have the V5 for the bike in my name and there is a VIN number on it. If someone used this on a bike would it ever get an MOT?. I reckon it must have been crashed early on and the frame replaced and never stamped, when repaired. Later Hondas in the UK like the 400/4 had an aluminium VIN plate (as used earlier in the US) in addition to the stampings in the headstock but I don't think you can get one for the early 250.
