Caliper and bracket are 750, gap is way too big i suspect a 500 disc, or more likely a complete front wheel due to accident. what are the markings on the rim and check against a known 750 one as the 500 is narrower

Jonny this was a long time ago and we didnt have a cleaner, we sent them out to an engineering firm that had one.

Alternatively strip absolutely everything out (ESPECIALY Rubber bits) and submerg the bodies in closed tins of cellulose thinners NOT GUNWASH. i dis this with 500 bodies and left them in the bed of the pickup for a week whilst i drove round----came out like new

As far as i know 750 had the same diameter 69 to 76. the 500/550 was smaller has somebody fitted one of those front ends as the tubes are the same diameter? Pics might help

the 2 bikes that gave mechanics nightmare with carbs were the Suzuki GS and the Honda CB250/400N(or T). We used to strip down and send for ultrasonic cleaning with the proviso to the owner that we only stripped down 3 times and if it still didnt run right it was up to them to get replacement carbs.

It seems that crud sets like concrete in the jetways

Did crack some ribs on a CX 500 when the front wheel slid out at stopping speed and dumped me on the pavement--not sure this would have helped

Best was GP when i rang him and asked "What do you do for cracked ribs"

Answer "I stand three paces back and laugh!"

« on: February 13, 2009, 07:45:44 AM »
Not 100% sure. I think it will but the length, width and chain line will be different. Doesnt look like the swing arm in the chop is altered so that ought to transfer.

Most difficult bits will be headlamp brackets and top yoke/clocks etc.

Most expensive bit will be chrome rear mudguard and side panels

some parts i have but not all are for sale
