The washers stick in the head recesses but if really missing are still available new.
On the adjuster is the thread stripped all the way down or just at the end? Honda should never have put that slot in there it gets abused.
New pattern ones are available but expensive and dont often come up used in good order any more.
I MAY have a used one but it wont be cheap

Trouble with the Haynes Ash it tries to cover the 350,400,500 and 550 the smaller ones are different enough to make that cnfusing rading.
I was told that Haynes had bought Clymer but not sure how true that is, their museum is worth a visit

Bike or manual? The parts book on there is Japanese.
I supplied them all to Ash by the way.

I can still burn the all to a dvd for a small fee if wanted

If you have a V in your back yard i wanna see it.
If you have been to Kennedy you will know about the "Oh Shit" face when leaving the control room mockup and the last Apollo lying down at Houston is impressive

The fact that the L was a half grade came from the same reptat suggested d7ev to me, and that man knew how to read plugs

Delta, i disagree,
On the asvise of an ngk rep who was a well respected sidcar racer i used D7EV in my 500 that went all over the UK and to the Isle of Man regularly plus commuting 7 miles to work.
Never fouled, never failed yes nearly twice the price but well worth it  the =L was always sold as a "half grade"
