Trigg not worried at all. I'm just curious as to how much has survived...as I'm cleaning all the grime and filth from it it really intrigues me? That rubber cap looked like a lump of grease and crap built up...

Tonight I thought I better make a bit of headway on the 400....progress was halted abit by the ramp being needed by the 450....
I have took the gopping top box of and removed the fairing a while ago....i have since picked up some original bars....the ace bars are growing on me so I will leave them for now.
Whilst all the front brake is of I thought I would remove the wheel and give it a clean and pop a new tyre on at the same time...the disc nuts still have what I belive is the factory yellow paint on the end
Is this correct
I also just started to give it a bit of a clean and came across this little split end tube thing
I think it is part number 17358-374-000. Tube assembly drain? (jesus I'm turning into a 400 nerd)
Now these must get slung probably not replaced especially with the split end cap on it.....
So apart from the ace bars I don't reckon this has been apart ( let's not get into the clutch guide thing)
What do you guys think. And what else should I look for as to back this up

Tell me if I'm wrong but it does just look like a standard frame that's been coated ....
And I looked at the sellers history. It looks like he knows his bikes...

CB500/550 / Nickel frame?
« on: September 25, 2014, 08:15:03 PM »
Why would this have a chrome / nickel frame .....or is it just a good paint job...
Was it just a P/O with access to a chroming tank...
Would look smart on a cafe racer

I like the look of it anyway ....I'd call it the "money pit"

As much as I hate to think any of our hondas were slung together on a budget...
Is it possible the engineers and accountants had a meeting that went...
Acc..."We need to save money on the cam journals"
Mech..."but if we do that they will need to change the oil every 3000 miles?"
Acc..."ok sounds good..stick it in the manual"

What was that company that used to metal spray surfaces like that, and then machine them down?

Joy Engineering?  Think they went bust.  Must be someone else....

Phill joy engineering

Still about and race tuning Hondas ....
