I always use the shaped ones, which can usually be found on flea-bay.

ACF50 will not keep everything in the garage condensation free. I live at about 600' above sea level and the residual humidity (RH) levels get pretty intense (can be up to 95%) and my classic cars, tools, spares etc in the garage got soaked on a regular basis. So I bought an XDry dehumidifier about 9 years ago (and a cheap digital RH monitor off eBay) and it's still going strong and draws 3.5lts of water over a 10-12 hr period. Now everything is bone dry, including my bikes since I got back into biking in early 2016.
This is a good site with a good FAQ page - NTDWM, just a very satisfied customer: https://www.dry-it-out.com/dry/garage-workshop.html
Thanks for tip Andrew, I've just ordered a Which Best Buy model from them. Cheers and Merry Christmas to all Eric

Have you seen ebay item No. 274082222928 ?
I think it may be what you're looking for.
Good luck

I've never had a modern Triumph, but I did have a Triton once with a genuine Manx Norton frame and Dunstall twin disc front end. Engine started out as a bog standard pre-unit 650, then metamorphosed into a 700 with the aid of a Norton crank. Then replaced it with a unit 650 with a Weslake top end, again with a Norton crank. Somewhat unreliable to say the least. I could never guarantee returning home with a full compliment of nuts and bolts as something always seemed to fall off. To be fair it did handle well. Eventually it threw a rod and I sold the remains.
My second Triumph did have a bit more get up and go! Loads of fun, but keeping it in one piece was a challenge.

I bought them late October 2016, basically as soon as CMSNL got them in stock. Delivery was about 5 days if memory recalls.

I got mine from CMSL. Quality excellent. Fitted just fine and dandy. Just watch the clearance with the side stand spring, its very close and make sure the rear axel goes in from the left.

I would have my CB350f on the road, but its got carb problems. It wouldn't run properly, usually Cylinder No.3 wouldn't fire at all. Then No.2 gave up the ghost. This was traced to the main jets and the 'O' rings, which of course were 45+ years old and petrol was leaking passed the 'O' rings. A new set of jets and hurrah we have all 4 cylinders working. The next snag was that I couldn't get the bike to idle properly. It would idle nicely on start up, perhaps with a tweak on the throttle stop screw, but out on the road at every stop the revolutions per minute would be around the 3000 mark. Leaky float needles perhaps. There was a dribble or two from some of overflow tubes when the tap was turned on, but stopped as soon as the engine started. So, another strip down and new float needle assemblies fitted. A bench test before putting the carbs back on the bike and hey presto, petrol pours out of every possible outlet when you turn the tap on. Oh pooh! or something along those lines. Float needle problems I guess and detritus lurking somewhere despite having the carbs ultrasonically cleaned.
The seats for the float needles (new after market jobs) don't look to clever with the aid of a magnifying glass, but I wouldn't have expected petrol to gush from the overflow tubes, a dribble may be. A new set of Genuine Honda float needle assemblies have been ordered for CMSNL at great expense. Meanwhile, has anyone had similar problems? I'm sure this is not restricted to just the CB350f. Anyone know of a good carb rebuild person(s)?

As a CB350f owner there are no feathers ruffled here.
Great looking bike Sir

Make one from your wife's credit card and save money.
Such a move could result in death or even worse!!

The Honda 'Shop Manual' for the CB350f is a little vague on setting the float height.
Apparently the float height should be set at 21mm, but measured from where to where? The manual also mentions the use of a float level gauge, a special Honda tool perchance, but what do you do if you haven't got one?
Any advice gratefully received.

I've got a video of the CR750 on track, but its a big file (27mb) in MP4 format. How do I upload it to the forum?

Hello Eric, I was at Mallory and was talking to a chap with a bike very much like yours on the Sunday morning, I think it must have been you  . You were situated just outside the cafe?... your bike looked (and sounded) awesome !
This is the beastie
Hi Rob Yep, that was me.
