CB500/550 / Re: Candy Garnet Brown
« Last post by Seabeowner on Today at 04:44:38 PM »
Decided on a close candy match (or maybe not) to the brown.
But haven't yet got the paint for the black sides.
Any suggestions appreciated for quality black aerosols for this?
Will use the SprayMax lacquer on top.

You could use them to put up some virtual shelves for ornaments that don't need to be bought Ted  ;D

Iirc a suitable sized brush stale has been used by members in the past to prevent the rotation. I believe it's inserted down the fork leg to jam the inside part. Never had to do it myself so you might find it via the search facility.

I assume you have removed the spring.

Thanks to all the tips on decarbing the valves they are all now cleaned up and shortly i will get to grinding them in on the sparkly clean head. I decided to do some work on the forks next. I read the manual (Haynes) and watched a couple of YouTube tutorials and all seemed fairly straightforward. I followed the steps draining the oil, pre-loosening the bottom Allen screw, removing the top 22mm fap and the spring but, I cannot now get the Allen screw out of the bottom of the fork leg to relase leg form top tube. The bolt just spins around; I assume it screws into the bottom of the damper tube which is rotating with the screw. I have tried pulling on the chrome fork tube, pushing on it to create some tension but no joy. Have I approached this incorrectly or is there a knack to this that I havent discovered? Any advice would be very welcome. Mike

I had some new tools from Wendy for my recent birthday - undecided between Metric & Imperial so she went for the safe option. ;D ;D ;D

Edible ones!

Misc / Open / Re: What happens if an exhaust mounting stud snaps off?
« Last post by Spitfire on Today at 01:40:46 PM »
I came across this when I was stripping down the F1 to start the rebuild, at first there was a broken stub visible about 1 inch, so I tried heat, penetrating oil, freezing stuff all to no avail.
I then used a roller type extracter which broke the stud revealing that nothing at all had penetrated
So it was head off and away to a machine shop, this did not bother me too much as I then could check the top end as the bike had been in storage for 10 years, I did find a stuck piston ring so it was worth it.


Cheers
