CB500/550 / Re: CB500K1 Headlight, European spec

I have a Cibie Z on my 500/4 (Silver Machine)

Unfortunately it's a European one and dips the wrong way - requires copious application of black masking tape each MOT...    8)

Steve Carpenter ("Carpy") is indeed an expat Brit - drop him a line - he loves to hear from Honda owners from back home!

First:
CB125S (Blue) - I loved that bike but had to swap it for something bigger to handle the Bedford - Brighton trips when I went to Uni (bought a CB175)

Worst:
Shared a CB250G5 with my room-mate at Uni. It was a dog. Spent more time in bits than running, devoured pistons and rings, handled like a dog (when it was running)

Pop over to www.sohc4.net/forums

There's a FAQ with loads of parts sources (and about 6000 members in the USA who would be happy to help)

Go here and select "Vehicle Enquiry"

You need the reg number only.

My old 500/4 was last taxed in 2002 so it must be:
a) dead and buried, or
b) SORNed and in a barn somewhere

My PRR had the same problem. The MOT tester looked inside the fairing, saw the way that the lamps were mounted, shrugged and carried on!

We all used 4.25/85 in the 70's coz we were obsessed with tyre widths too!

The bigger the better!  (we were young...)

« on: August 03, 2010, 03:11:10 PM »
These guys state that the last sandcast engine was 1007414 so looks like you are either in the money, or faced with a horrendously expensive restoration!
