Of course you could use Piki's (Diego ... AKA Redice sponsor on this forum!) decals instead
He does a good discount for members and his decals are spot on. I know painting is more authentic but decals done correctly probably look a lot better than painted on gone slightly wrong. Maybe somebody has used them ? After all, everyone uses decals on the 400F2 tanks that I know of. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204078768641 That's only the stripes though but my experience is painting the black on isn't too difficult. You can get jet black base-coat from paint suppliers (like BMW use on cars). The base-coat dries matt/satin but as soon as you hit it with decent 2k clear it shines beautifully. 9

Interesting that bikes like the DOHC 750 and CB400N used the same size shells as the 1st CB750 and also for the DOHC that there is an extra size available 'Bearing E ... Blue'. I always knew that CBX1000 shells fitted the SOHC fours though.

CB750 / Re: What's this all about ??« on: May 19, 2024, 08:41:57 AM »That would mean you could regrind a crank, does anybody know if the journals are hardened cos i dont My mate Graham Curtis refurbishes Honda cranks of the pressed together variety (must have done at least 100) and I asked him about the depth of hardening on those. He reckons it's around 2mm on the crankpins ... yes I know it's not a plain bearing crank but gives an indication. He told me the crank parts are copper coated in areas where the parts are not hardened as part of the hardening process. 15

Someone must do an aftermarket 35T that would fit Mo. |
