Thanks guys, I'll give P&P a call.
LSN Coatings, is that the company that takes work in at the Rufforth autojumble? I think I've used them before too...

I need to get my frame and ancillaries blasted, my usual blaster is not taking work in due to premises move.
Can anyone recommend me a blaster in the Sheffield / Rotherham / Worksop area?

Amos, If you win that tank, I've a tap with a smaller thread than the F1.
I was given an F1 tap on here, so the F2 tap is the same price......

Thanks Guys,
All I know of the bike is its an F1, with spoked wheels, it came in boxes of bits, and I'm not even sure its all one bike as there was a spoked rear and comstar front wheel, but the spoked rear did fit the swing arm as I was using it to build the wheel.
I'll drop that French lead an email, see if we can do anything.
Cheers.
Pete

I've not done much work with the CB in the last year or so, been busy re building the E Type's Bonnet.....
Decided I'd lace up the back wheel during the last few cold nights when disaster struck, one of the spoke holes in the rim pulled apart as I was tightening the spoke, I guess there must have been a hairline crack as I hadn't got anywhere near full tension on, anyway the hub is scrap now with 3 adjascent spoke holes ripped open.
Does anyone have an F1 rear hub for sale? know of one for sale, or of any other spoke hub from Honda or other manufacturer which can be made to fit?
Cheers.
Pete.

Looks neat, I'm using 82 CB900 twin piston calipers on my 750F2, with a CBR600 1/2 bore master cylinder, and braided hoses caliper to caliper to cut down on joints, should give a nice progressive feel.

Agree Bitsa, but back then the CB could out brake the Alegros Cortinas and the likes in traffic, now my L200 truck will out brake the CB easily.
So a bit of extra stopping power is welcome in my book, providing the tyre can handle it.....
Same with my E Type Jag, I've spent more on brake mods than the whole F2 has cost me.

You could go for a master cylinder with a smaller bore, this has the effect of increasing the laver to pad movement ratio, so for the same pressure on the lever, you get more pressure at the pad. Take a look here: http://www.vintagebrake.com/mastercylinder.htm

Hi All,
I've been a bit lazy over the summer and just been collecting parts for my 77 F2 rebuild, I've decided on a stripped back minimalist look for the bike, I bought chassis and engine from seperate sources so its no loss.
One of the things I'm thinking of ditching is the starter motor, how easy are these bikes to kick start? I really don't want to remove the starter and then find the kick is an emergency only type device.
Cheers.
Pete.

Hi Tomb, No the cast in lugs for the disc fitting are only half width on the cm400 wheel.
Cheers.

I know all the advice is dont, bolts not available, riveted etc........
But,
Has anyone actually done it and had success? I want an 18" front wheel, better tyre choice (OK Cheaper), and I have a really neat mudguard which fits a 100 90 18 perfectly.
I have an 18" front from a CM400, but that only has one disk, I'm thinking of getting a scrap 19" F2 / DOHC comstar and fitting its centre into the 18" wheel, I figure I will only need to remove 2 pairs of spokes, but to balance things I should use the same rim end fittings on all spokes, so would use dome nuts and screws all round, loctited of course.
I can't see a problem bolting it all back together with tight fitting metric fine pitches, optimum torque figures etc.
Has anyone had any success / what are the pitfalls I'm probably missing?
