Hi Ken
i have used Agbrigg chroming in the past As you say not concourse but ok for the money I suppose back in the day when our bikes were made Honda didn't go to town on chroming either So maybe OK chroming is passable Ross

Hi all and a happy new year
I have just had a quote from Ashford chrome to plate a cb400f2 front mudguard A staggering £600 inc vat Now that would make Jesus shed a tear or two It made me take a sharp intake of breath Replica ones can be had for £174 You don't need to be a genius at maths to work that one out Why is chrome so expensive I was expecting to pay around £100 Can Anybody recommend a reasonable plater please or its the replica route
Cheers Ross

Hi Ted
Do the short screws fasten the strap to the buckle and the shoulder screws fasten the completed strap to the seat

If anybody requires any repairs to engine crank cases / covers etc Or anything else Check out Badfoot Customs on Facebook to see what he can do He is a brilliant engineer and can turn his hand to anything If you cant buy a part He will make it and can weld most things Check him out Have a look at his work

Cheers Julie, Reassuring. Didn't think id missed anything with the rebuild but you begin doubting yourself Its good to get feedback before you start pulling it apart unnecessarily.
Will get it de -sorned and get some miles in and check again after 500 or so miles Cheers Ross

Having had rebore with new pistons and the head refurbed Engine rebuilt using all new internals Carbs rebuilt It now starts on the button runs and revs freely
Just done a compression test as a check and all 4 cylinders show 122-124 I was expecting 150 plus
Had a leak down test done and all is ok with the head ( no leaks passed valves) and all cylinders show under 4% The only leak noise is heard in crankcase through oil filler
Do you think ive missed something doing the rebuild Or will it get better when i can get some road miles on it Cheers Ross

cheers Bryan As you say remotely trying to fault find is hard But still hard when your sat in front of it You tend to trust new stuff to be right Only a slight error on the loom builders part but a head scratcher at the time Thanks for the help Ross
