Interesting comments guys and agree with all said.

   In your situation it makes perfect sense to get one and I would think it should do at least 10 to 15 years should you choose to
   keep lt.

I agree that it makes sense for Jonny, I really hope it works out and exceeds his expectations.

I know it's different but I have never owned a cordless power tool that has worked for more than 5 seconds once it was over 8 years old.

That is really strange about the Green Sparkplug Company. We have used them regularly for NGK and Denso plugs and always had excellent service. Graham said they were having some supply issues but that was ages ago. Have you tried phoning them?

"According to the Denso site the plugs you need are Denso-X22ES-U   "

Honda contemporary manual agrees with this as alternative to NGK D7EA Dave.

Denso 24 = NGK 8 heat range.  With Denso 27 = NGK 9.

I use both Denso X22ES-U and X24ES-U plugs in my 750F1 the last set I got from Sparkplugs Limited and had no problem with them.

I think you are right Matt. I went onto the GSPC website and typed in my NGK plug code and that was the answer I got for the ND plugs I need. I have just gone onto the Spark Plug Ltd site and it is showing the same plug as you state, something strange going on!
I have now placed the order with the Spark Plug Ltd and given up with the Green Spark Plug Company after waiting nearly FIVE weeks for my order. I have contacted them twice to chase up the order and didn't even receive a response the second time. Terrible customer service so have asked for my money back and left them an appropriate review to reflect my frustration in dealing with them. How can a company show items as being in stock with a two day delivery at the point of order when clearly they don't have stock and are waiting on a delivery from the manufacturer! If they didn't have the stock they should have offered an alternative plug from another manufacturer instead of the radio silence!

Topic debated before, assembly of front brake caliper and the lubricant to use in this assembly.

From 1970 CB 750 Honda workshop manual;- Verbatim  "Note : Use silicon sealing grease (temperature range of -67~ 392 F (-55 ~ 200C). Do not use molybdenum grease known as brake grease. "     

This accompanying a schematic of caliper showing the application point as both recess that accomodate active and fixed pads.

Also from Honda workshop manual 1978 CB 750 (last of SOHC bikes, with illustration of the K7 caliper in arrangement parallel to all the previous 4 cylinder motorcycle  calipers;- verbatim "Install a new piston seal. Coat the piston with silicon grease and install it. Apply silicon grease to the brake pad outer circumference and install."

This, in my appreciation of it, is that Honda direct the use of this grease only in assembly of the caliper.

Anecdotal view, I've  been using silicone grease in this way for some time. Part of this is that it appears to be the only common one I can use in system with mineral oil, or conventional dot fluid or silicone based fluid.

Interestingly, I dont get brake squeal in any system when using this method. It seems to offer the most competent piston return over significant period of use, being all but impervious to water ingress when exposed to poor working conditions too.

Both cycle disc (working on two four and six piston  calipers) that have very concise demands in preventing drag by piston contraction when releaesd, also cars & bikes when placed on mot rollers to test, these having notably extremely low drag before brake application.
