I've never seen one specifically for the SS50, but it is an SOHC, and I've still got mine from my teens, so it's okay on here! ;D

Hi did you just get the numbers out of the v5 ?, if you did why not clean some of the old paint off the frame number and see what that says?  ;) cheers Mick.

I think he's thinking the F would stand for Frame as E stands for Engine Steve. It would make sense.

Aye thats what i ment  ;) glad you got it sorted  :) cheers Mick

Friend of mine in the 70's had one of these!
we used to call it a "hairdrier!" due to the sound, unlike our noisey two strokers!!!

Hi
I would be grateful for some info on the inlet valve guide seal on Honda 50's as the Honda Manual doesn't recognize
there is one.
Thanks
Gerry

Only the outlet has a seal.
Because that one is down.
The upper valve guide doesn't need one.
The outlet valve has an extra cap over the seal.
The inlet misses that cap as well..
