There's a bit missing Bryan but it's understandable. Where did it come from?

Flc: I have a DOHC Manual if you want any wiring diagrams.

I wouldn't worry about copyright - it's 40 years old!

We have a large archive of such stuff on the .net site - that's where I'd save it with links from here.

I expect so.

Do you have pdfs that we could put in the archive?

Everyone is required by law nowadays to offer an "unsubscribe" option. It's not normally too visible but is always there.

I always use it.

Also beware of sites that require you to uncheck the option box. Most people don't.
Software upgrades are the worst. How many times have I forgotten to uncheck the "download Yahoo toolbar" or "Free Antivirus Check" boxes?  Bastards!

I like the breakdown cover with CN. Last year I got a cheaper quote from FJ and CN matched it.  :)

I assume that I'm not the only one to get an email from DSS today, asking me to enter a competition.

A good cheap way to validate their email lists...

My issue is with the list of options for where you heard of them:
  • Internet
  • Press
  • Friend
  • Dealer
  • Honda UK

There's not box for "SOHC4 Forum"   :'(

Pete: he was Kaceyf2 (changed bikes I presume...)

Kacey: it's Dave Degens. Here he is a couple of years back on Eamon's Dresda 900

It came in a small tube and looked like red hermatite when you squeezed it out. I have no idea whether it is still available (or even legal) anymore...

I've probably posted this before but...

Late 70's fix (proven on the 5 or 6 SOHC4s that we had outside our student residence in those days)

  • Remove coils, clean thoroughly and place in warm airing cupboard overnight
  • Rough up the area around the join between the HT lead and the coil body with a sharp screwdriver
  • Apply RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanising) rubber compound around joint
  • Back to the airing cupboard for a couple of hours

Worked for us!

I hacked the disintegrating silencers off my CB175 and replaced them with Dunstall Decibel "silencers".

My mum used to say that she could hear me from two villages away!

Do you like the sunglasses?
