Title: Well that was a surprise .....
Post by: SPR on August 21, 2022, 12:09:07 PM: Thought I'd adjust the cam chain today and was surprised when I took the cover off to find my points missing and this in their place ........ can anyone identify it ?

I'm presuming my recently ordered Hondaman system is now defunct ::)

Post by: Oddjob on August 21, 2022, 12:48:19 PM: Yeah CMS sell them as well.

Post by: SPR on August 21, 2022, 12:57:35 PM: Yep - I just found that on ebay as well

Have saved a copy of the instructions from CMSNL

That will teach me for not checking first before parting with my money :)

They seem to get a decent writeup and work - so I'll have a Hondaman system for sale in a week or so ....... onwards and upwards !!

You are probably right but apart from needing all the bits I'm a little ham fisted at timing type things and would need an idiots guide .... I know sad ::)
