Thanks all, that's great.
I didn't know there was such a difference between the two, my preference being the candy custom gold one as I never was a fan of huge metal flake. I know how hard it is to put on well and what can be achieved but it always just shouts VW beach buggy/dodgem paintwork and just doesn't flick the proverbial switch. It was Julie's that did it when I saw it a while ago and forgot who's it was. I'll scout the code and get cracking on some options. Thanks all. 3393

I wasn't aware, mine's parked n/s against the garage wall covered in 'gubbins' and fishing tackle, I'd never noticed and assumed it was the same set up as the 400. Nice one Bryan. Need a gear change pedal then

CB500/550 / Re: More progress« on: October 06, 2021, 08:22:54 PM »Saw some tank badges for the 550 for sale in a shop I was ordering from in Japan, £7.99 each. They were gold on black, 160mm long, 24mm wide, and screw centres at 67mm apart. As soon as I saw them I wondered if you'd be interested, free postage over £33, I bought 3 items, one a genuine Honda CB500 bottom end gasket set for £12.99, the other were the Honda logo badges for the alternator cover for the CB500 at less than half the price of DS. They had some sets of genuine Honda points and condensors for less than the price DS charges just for the points. very interested an putting a list at the minute.Those footrests Ken,after having a look the PO has done away with it altogether and used the hole for an awful exhaust stay, thing Ill need the bar,two foot rests, the brackets and the gear change mech and brake pedal it looks like. if Im still measuring, where from and where to and I'll get on it and fire you some dims later on. 3397

I’m was hoping to permanently change these grommets characteristics to that approaching the OE standard rather than a temporary measure. I’ll let you know how it goes. Be interested in the outcome of that when you've had go..... 3398

Has anybody tried that wintergreen oil soak method yet, or whatever its called? I've not had a chance yet but it also sounds a bit too easy. anyone had a go?............Just as an alternative maybe?
