Sounds really good, both exhaust/intake and mechanically.

Are the carbs accelerator pumped ?

Thank you. Yes the RS carbs have an adjustable accelerator pump.

I foolishly painted a Honda step thru tank with normal paint and then a few weeks later spilt petrol on it that immediately softened the new paint.

Anyhow after a further repaint I finished it off with Pro XL 2K clear lacquer aerosol and it's been fine ever since.


You may need to take a seat after pricing a professional paint job in flake finish, please report back!



Good luck

Perhaps Delkevic may start making them.

Not sure what is going on with Brituro who makes (made) them for DS, Yamiya, Classic Bike Shop etc. as they stopped trading recently but then started up again as another name.

Just read a test of aftermarket Led headlamps. Best was the Osram Nightbreaker Led Pro. Problem is, it won't fit in our headlights. Moreover such a LED bulb is not streetlegal unless in combination with a reflector made for LED headlamps.

LED bulbs from Classic Car LEDs are street legal

'The MOT rules have been clarified from 06.02.23 to allow the use of LED conversions that pass the beam pattern tests for headlights for Class 3, 4, 5 and 7 vehicles (car, private bus and light commercial vehicle) first used before 1 April 1986 and all class 1 and 2 motorcycles of any age'.

Thanks, I think I’d get it professionally painted.

However, if too expensive, I may get the correct paint and do it myself, back to black.

And if so, what paint should I be using?

Just found this thread, with some good tips:

Flake sunrise is one of the 3 pack candy colours which mostly come in nasty type paints needing air fed masks

I have just bought the P43T LED for my Cibie. I have gone for 3000k Cool White because it has a more yellowish light to it. Having read up on a few things relating to cars etc pulling out on bikers it has been indicated (not proven) that a headlight with a yellowish tint is more noticeable to car drivers. Bright white tends to get washed out with all the cars nowadays that have their sidelights permanently on.

Dave,

in order to avoid further confusion please may I point out that the cool white LED you mention is actually 6000k, it's the warm white LED that's 3000k and as you note probably the more appropriate looking LED for our old nails.
