Misc / Open / Simoniz VHT31D
« on: August 12, 2023, 07:51:41 PM »
I am looking to buy some more Simoniz VHT31D. I can find plenty, but there are two different cans. The sellers are advertising as Simoniz VHT31D Matt Aluminium but there are two different cans, one has a yellow emblem the other blue. Does anyone know the significance of the colour change?

CB350/400 / Just checking I’m not going mad! 400/4 conrod shells.
« on: March 10, 2022, 07:57:24 PM »
Just taken the conrods off the crank to check the condition of the shells and was surprised to see three of the pairs of shells had Black markings. The reason I was surprised is the conrods are marked with a 1. I was expecting conrods marked 1 to have either Red, Yellow or Green shells.

I used plastigage to check the clearance which looks ok.

The forth conrod was clearly Green shells with a 3 on the conrod so appears fine.

Everything seems fine just confused with the Black markings on the shells. No visible markings on the crank to help me.
So I suppose my question is, could they be red shells that have gone black with age and heat? Bearing in mind the Green shells are clearly Green.
Any thoughts and experience would be appreciated.

SOHC Singles & Twins / CB200 Lower Rear Shock Bushes
« on: September 23, 2021, 08:09:00 PM »
Came to remove the lower rear shock bushes from the swing arm and I was surprised that I could just push them out. On other bikes I've had to drill out the rubber and hacksaw the outer shell. The bushes look as though they are original and the swing arm does not look as though it's been messed with, no signs of file marks. Also removing the main swing arm bushes (original plastic ones) was much easier than the 400s I've done.

Has anyone else found this to be the case with the 200?

Just don't want to buy another swing arm and find they are all like that.

TIA

Misc / Open / Plastic Coated Frame
« on: April 24, 2021, 02:18:54 PM »
I'm sure in the past there has been a thread relating to plastic coated frames. I have searched for the thread without any joy.
There are a couple of things I'd like to get some advice on.
I think the bike I have just started has a plastic coated frame. Having never seen a plastic coated frame before is there a way I can tell if it's plastic or some sort of paint?
If it is plastic coated, will blasting remove it? If not, can anyone advise on the best method of removal?
Thanks
John

SOHC Singles & Twins / CB200
« on: April 03, 2021, 03:13:57 PM »
Well, I’d just stripped down a 400/4 and then a CB200 came my way.
The 400 has a slight issue. The side stand mounting had an abundance of non-factory extra weld that I decided to clean up. When I started the clean-up it was apparent that the weld was bad with cracks and holes with no frame tube behind it all.

So the 400 is going on the back burner until I can find someone more skilled than me to put it right.
So now I’m starting on the 200.

Recommended Sources for Parts and Services / Circlip Pliers
« on: December 10, 2020, 11:34:26 AM »
Can any one recommend decent internal and external circlip pliers? They seem to range from about £3 to £125 with varying reviews from excellent to rubbish for the whole price range. Any advice would be welcome. TIA.

CB350/400 / CB400 Neutral Switch O-Ring
« on: October 26, 2020, 05:02:04 PM »
I've just been putting some parts together for my next project. I came across a small bag of two o-rings, the bag is marked 35751-333-003. The part number matches the 400 neutral switch o-ring. Don't know where I got them, they measure 10IDx1.5CS. Can anyone confirm these are the correct size for the neutral switch? The parts manuals I have don't list the size.

Something I haven’t seen before. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to ask the PO about the modification as he had passed away (he may have bought the bike like this).
The clamp end of the silencer has been sawn off and welded to the collector box. So the cut off silencer was just butted up against the exhaust gasket on the collector.
The only thing I can think of is that at some point it may have had a different silencer that fitted into the modified collector.

I would like to put the system back to the original set up. This would require the silencer end to be ground off the collector and if useable welded back onto the silencer.
I do have a rotted silencer with an end that could be used if the original isn’t salvageable.

I would tackle it myself but my welding ability is only to the ‘big bracket that no one will ever see’ standard.
So my question is, can anyone recommend a welder in the Cheshire area that could do this job for me?
TIA

Misc / Open / Advice needed.
« on: December 07, 2019, 10:02:30 AM »
Hi All,
As the title says, advice needed from people who know more than me (that's probably everyone!).
My brother in law is looking to bid on this 250k4
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/honda-cb250-k4-project/274130540689?hash=item3fd3741891:g:N4kAAOSwADVd6ove
He has asked me what I think. Trouble is I know nothing about them.
Your thoughts on this bike and any pitfalls when buying one would be appreciated. Also are parts easy to come by?

CB350/400 / Another 400
« on: July 09, 2019, 12:27:01 PM »
Have just purchased another 400. A few bits missing (I'll post in Desperately Seeking) and couple of things I'm not sure about. The bike appears to be an import but I don't know where from (Unfortunately the PO had passed away).
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
The couple of things I'm not sure about are the right hand switch gear and the the master cylinder. Can anyone shed any light?

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a bore gauge at a price that isn't going to make me weep?

CB350/400 / 400/4 Front Brake
« on: June 24, 2019, 09:10:52 PM »
Help needed again.
My brother and I have both got 400/4s. When the front brake pad is removed from the piston side, one 400 has a square section nylon? ring sat between the piston and pad, the other 400 doesn't. I can't find any reference to this part. Should it be there or not? Can anyone enlighten me please? TIA.

CB350/400 / 400 Ignition Barrel Problem
« on: June 07, 2019, 11:13:16 AM »
Hi All.
As you can see from the first pic, I can remove my ignition key when in the ON position. Bit of a pain as it works its way out whilst riding along. Now I start the bike and put the key in my pocket to keep it safe then have to fish around in my pocket for the key when I stop.
Has anyone managed to dismantle and repair one of these?
Or has anyone got a useless one they are willing to part with so I can have a practice run at fixing before I attempt mine. I'd like to keep mine as it is the same key for the seat.
Looks like it's three punches to the outer casing holding it together. I was thinking of drilling out the punches but not sure how I'd go about fixing it back together yet or once apart whether I can do anything to resolve the key issue.
