Go for it bitsa - i had the afternoon off yesterday, weather in Brighton looking perfect, turned up at the garage to take the cbr900 out and literally as i opened the door the heavens opened. Was soo tempted to say fu*k it and just go for it, but the bike's only got 2900 miles on it / is as new and has never seen the rain - just couldn't bring myself to 'christen' it yesterday. Seriously thinking of taking triggers advice and getting a cheap all weather / go anywhere bike that i don't need to worry about...

Dave Silver / CMSNL / Fowlers for the Honda parts. NRP carbs for misc keihin parts (jets etc...)

:-). Luckily my ultrasonic tank is heated so i normally pick them out straight from the tank. My mrs would kill me if I stuck bike parts in the oven.....(errr that sounded a bit wrong)..

Throw then in the oven for a bit and then pick it out with a safety pin.
Good point - or in a bucket of hot water....

Richard I've done quite a few 750 sets now. I break the carb units themselves down completely to ultrasonicly clean, but always clean the manifold / actuator bar as a complete unit wherever possible (so long as it has no excessive play / stiffness in the mechanism you should be fine). Just thoroughly clean, dry and lubricate after. I would always go for the honda gasket sets and try and use genuine Keihin pilot jets if possible. Keyster kits are 'ok' but the pilot jets in particular aren't a patch on the genuine keihin parts IMHO.

Assume these are for a 400/500/550 where the seal locates in a recess in the bowl face? If they're flush / hard then they need replacement. I use a set of draper 'mini hook / picks' when refurbishing my carbs. Find them really useful and are strong / well made. Just be careful not to 'gouge' the aluminium as the draper tools appear to be made from stainless. Link : http://bit.ly/1f8mMOg

 Mikeb4 on the us forum used the gl1000 front end for his cr style road bikes...not too shabby.

Mark have you thought about a gl1000 front end for the project? 38mm stanchions and more or less a bolt on conversion. You could also use the did flanged front rim from the gl1000. Just a thought...

By the frame / engine numbers thats a k6 for sure. What shape were the tank / side covers that came with it?

Yeah that was one of mine chaps. Having a bit of a spring clean out. Plan is to focus on some of my other projects and to put some funds back into the house project that seems to be swallowing a stupid amount of money...

Thanks Bitsa - pulled the trigger on it and like you say I should be able to modify the adjuster mechanism if necessary. Thanks for the steer oddjob. James
