Looking good. There might be a problem with that camshaft though!

If you feel sure the spare moped is not nicked I don't see a problem.
Have it for the spare parts. If you're not sure about scrapping it, give the local scrap yard a ring. He'll tell you if he's able to take it without v5. Hth. 1250

Very bad news. Things can only get better. Don't let it get you down too much.

I've just driven back from Glasgow listening to the exact same album! Aqualung and Thick as a Brick made the journey so much better. 😀

They look pretty close to what I had in mind. Might need to modify the end fitting profile slightly.
Cheers. ☺ 1254

The standard 400/4 footpegs are a bit on the chunky size for my cafe style rebuild.
Can anybody recommend an alternative footpeg that will fit the original Honda mountings? I'm looking for a modern style aluminium peg without going for rearsets. (Too old and creaky for that!) 1255
CB350/400 / Re: CB400/4 FRONT FORK REFURB BY JULIE« on: December 18, 2017, 12:24:18 PM »Well, at least I didn't have to strip them down and start again. But, if I had of got the seals in the wrong way, I would have been quite pissed off with myself more than anything, as I used up a lot of mental energy concentrating on getting them rightGood news. I'm glad that you don't have to undo your good work. Being a cheapskate I used pattern seals with a single lip on mine. 1256
CB350/400 / Re: CB400/4 FRONT FORK REFURB BY JULIE« on: December 16, 2017, 04:49:57 PM »I suppose it's a lesson to all of us. Never assume that the old parts were fitted correctly in the first place! It may be. The stantions are straight aren't they? Your rebuild is going really well. The fork seals are just a little hiccup. Everybody has them so no big deal. Looking forward to the rest of the bike rebuild. 1257

Even factory original parts can be fitted wrongly. 1258

The bike looks amazing. I would be really worried about my crown jewels though.

Trigger, what type of welder do you use for the aluminium welding? I'm thinking of upgrading my arc welder to a Tig machine to carry out similar repairs and fabrication.
Advice on a good unit to get would be much appreciated. ☺ |
