I've discovered that only a slight adjustment of the handle bars prevents anything getting into contact with the tank. I doubt very much if I'll ever have a tank slapper again, so a stop isn't important to me but is the lack of a stop a construction and use offense?

The only good smartphone is a wrecked smartphone!

I get the pads out and file the leading edge to a bit of an angle, and I also use copper grease behind them, works a treat until next time!

When at WOT accelerating up a long, straight, slightly uphill road in 6th gear,

I never did bother with a car! Being a London dispatch rider for ten years it goes without saying I would do my commuting up from Brighton to London on a bike when I lived there and the rest of the time internally to London. Weaving in and out of packed traffic I always did think London bikers were a superior species, like the Collies among the sheep!

Was the front disc brake standard?
If you mean my RS, well yes and it was well up to the job.

Sounds to me you should short list the CB250RS, I never did like the Deluxe model paint job, but hey, the best looking one I had was customised.

Welcome back! I owned four (five?) CB250 RSs in the 1980s, I used all of them for dispatch riding. The one you see in the pics was my last, I got 77,000 miles out of her, with a couple of camshaft changes mind. I loved them and the sound they made especially. They weren't without their issues and the stress of dispatch riding would bring them out too. Even so on my short list of options when I returned to biking six years ago, I ended up with a 400/4 though, an RS seemed a bit too small for my purposes now.

It's for the crank case halves George, no gasket fitted there.
Well that took me by surprise, but then again, I've never worked that deep in! Thanks Julie.

If you get genuine Honda gaskets you won't need to risk messing about with sticky stuff, they go in dry.
