Misc / Open / Who did I see at Old street in London?
« on: October 23, 2018, 07:10:13 PM »
I was at the Old St roundabout in London when a head popped out of a white van window...'I've got the same bike..I love it' said the guy in the van.
I answered..'are you on the Single overhead Cams forum'?
He replied 'Yes'..
Alas, the pressure of traffic meant that's all that could be said before we parted ways.....

Stop taking the pith. it’s no help to someone with a squeaky brake. Try Making some anti squeal shims for the back of the pads.
How do I make them?

Personally I've never found a squeaky front brake an issue, it's when it doesn't squeal you may well have something wrong it such as a pad sticking/not retracting properly, so time to investigate. Plus, in the event of an incident/accident, witnesses will hear the brake and look, and back you up on the fact you WERE braking.

In 1982 while squeaking my way through the Leather Lane market (what a place to go) in London someone threw an orange at me....

Just had the froont brake apart. Put some silicone lube behind the discs and set the fixed caliper at 0.16 ...still it squeaks!

CB350/400 / Clutch Cover ...to paint or to polish?
« on: October 13, 2018, 11:16:47 PM »
The paint on this casing  on my F2 is looking really dull as it is everywhere else. I seem to see different approaches to this casing on internett images and even the cover of the Haynes manual. Should this item be polished as opposed to painted, does it respond especially well?

I am currently planningf the most sensible precaution possible for when the F2 is road ready. Moving. To a house with a garage.
Somebody told me the real quarry is scooters, and that I had not much to worry about.  Not much is plenty enough....but are scooters the main quarry, is it because they are the most numerous two wheelers?

Make sure the squirrels don't start chewing on your bike or storing nuts in it!  :(
