CB500/550 / Re: honda cb 500k1 primary chain
« on: August 31, 2019, 07:26:27 PM »
How could I tell without stripping the engine down if the rubbers and chain might need replacing? I'm only asking because I don't know the full history of my bike as it's a US import and the mileage maybe inaccurate.

They look quite nice, a bit like the old Piper ones but >103 decibels is a bit too noisy for comfort :-\.

Thanks Mate, they do seem reasonably priced.

OK, I realise this has probably been asked a million times before. ::) Since both top and bottom right hand pipes look like they are about 90% filler and Silvers don't think they will have any new sets until January, can any of the learned company give their thoughts on replacement systems? Cheers :D

Tricks & Tips / Re: Tank Badge Clips - use or not?

I used them and they do work well, much neater and better than double sided tape. Try not to bend the badge which is quite soft and easy to get out of shape.

Watch out for the wood ants if you go for a picnic, they have jaws like crocodiles!

Dropped a couple of pix in the gallery. Only about forty odd years between them so I stayed out of the one of the 500 to sustain the youthful, dashing image. ;) The 500 looks good from this side but needs new pipes on the other, plus I've been waiting 3 months for a bloke to finish the repairs on the h/l brackets. They should be worth at least 2k by the time I get them back! :o

Just to say Hi to one and all!http://www.sohc.co.uk/Smileys/default/smiley.gif

Looong time bike rider from the UK during which I've owned a good selection of various makes but currently am the proud owner of 1972 US import CB500 Four in not quite showroom condition, but I'm working on it to the point where I can claim it at least has patina! Had a 400/4 back in the 1970's which I "tastefully" modified to the point where Honda would have disowned it, but I liked it; quick enough to do several 10sec runs at Santa Pod back in the day and still get me to work plus two up holidays to the I.O.M. TT with the lady wife.
