I have emailed "Hondachrome" over the years.

He buys his stuff in California. His prices are pretty good - even though they have increased substantially over the last 5 years.

If I needed a mudguard - I'd buy one from him any time.

I'm sure my CB125S had one of them. Mounted between the forks.  6V system too!

As of 1st June 2011 we will only sell parts for models which were sold before 2002.
This will allow us to provide a better service for the market that we specialise in


I know that grammar nowadays is the remit of only us old pedants, but that really reads as if it was written by a 12 year old...

That's 16% KC

Would you say no to a 16% pay rise?

If you go to any of the touring / sports touring forums and search for this you'll find they rarely talk about anything else!

Certainly my lot www.bikersoracle.com/triumphsprint/forum are well into it  :)

Tim - all the engines have a CB550E-xxxxxx format (I assume that it stands for "engine" to differentiate fron the frame number which starts CB550-xxxxxx)

Hello New Yorker!

Best case: someone has put the wrong spacers in the front or rear wheels so they don't line up.

Worst case: bent frame  :(

You might want to check out www.sohc4.net as most of our US cousins hang out there.

I've got a set that I bought on eBay years ago.

I'll go and see if I can still find them.

I don't know what you're on Kacey, but...

My wedding distractor was a 200 mile ride-out to Old Sarum airfield cafe, Zigzag hill and Compton Abbas for lunch.

The sun shone and the raods were absolutely deserted!

Are you the guy on the HOC forum who's renovating the G5?

I'm afraid I have only bad memories of them as my room-mate at Uni (1978) couldn't afford a 4 so bought a CB360. It was a dog and required more top-end rebuilds than I care to remember.

He persuaded his parents to sign the forms in the end and chopped it in for an F1.

I was thinking of that when I wrote it Bryan, but thought that it was the 400 that was different (I may be wrong of course...)

It depends if you want the period look.

I've used Avon Roadrunners on all my old bikes for the last 10 years. They are similar to those from the 70's but modern compound.  Not sure about quality or supply though since Avon was taken over by an American company a couple of years ago.

Mornin' Steve.

My first 500/4 (in the avatar) had finned covers that I bought from Read Titan in Leytonstone for
