Honda-SOHC

Back in the 80s

I also used Champion A8Y


Definitely a  projecting nose plug,

The bike ran well, but they became difficult to get

Trouble with the Haynes Ash it tries to cover the 350,400,500 and 550 the smaller ones are different enough to make that cnfusing rading.
I was told that Haynes had bought Clymer but not sure how true that is, their museum is worth a visit

Wow, fantastic that's a great result. A thousand thank you's Ash. Without your help with parts I'd be well and truly stuck.
As for the plating, if you are plating other parts (for the RSA maybe 🤔) I'd be more than happy to wait as I have plenty to be getting on with in the meantime in terms of assembly but please don't give yourself any additional work if it distracts you from your own build👍.
By the way, the airbox you sent previously has come up a treat using the hot air gun to bring the oil up to the surface followed by a long soak in some Auto Glym rubber & vinyl restorer.
Thanks again.

No worries .. I will do them Wednesday next week if that's OK Dave.
Not got much done on CB250RS lately as we recently went to Tenerife and then Derbyshire for Cathy's birthday.

I will update my resto thread soon. Everything is in epoxy primer including the frame and tank etc ready for paint. I am going for 2k semi-gloss on the frame etc and I got 1 litre (thins to 2l) of Dalcoat base-coat for the pearl blue metallic (correct Honda code .... a fraction of the cost from RS Bikepaint)  plus some beautiful decals with loads of discount from Piki. The delay has been checking the frame for misalignment but my DIY jig and calcs. say it's with 0.4°, which I deemed to be just about OK. I think if I hadn't taught myself to paint to a reasonable standard over the last 2 years the project wouldn't have been economically viable. I guess I will be in it if for the tune of £2k total but that includes a totally NOS top end apart from the camshaft.

Bike or manual? The parts book on there is Japanese.
I supplied them all to Ash by the way.

I can still burn the all to a dvd for a small fee if wanted
