Honda-SOHC

Thank you all for making me feel welcome.

@Julie, yes they are tulips indeed, and in the Netherlands as you may know, not unusual to see in these large quantity's. I always plan a route through the area's where and when the fields looking like this.

I see a very nice CD175, one of the nicest twins I know. The looks of a CB450 K1 (gastank), combined with one of the nicest engines ever made (styling). The best of both worlds (CB72 / 77 and CB450 K1), love it..

AshimotoK0, thanks for your link to this forum. I wasn't aware that the thread on hondatwins.net was linked and discussed in other forums as well. It's just a some kind of diary or journal to describe my experiences with this kind of oil, especially on the subject breaking in a classic engine with a synthetic oil, more specific the Castrol 10W-60 EDGE oil with FST. Unfortunately I seem to be one of very view who do things like this, so there is no comparison with other experiences.

Next to that, writing such a journal takes a lot of time, time that I don't spend in answering questions of other people on subjects discussed many times before, and that is not always accepted or appreciated. Nor is it clear for me if such in-depth written journal contributes to a forum anyway, that's makes it hard to proceed. The other thing is that many arguments given by others are not based on measurements.

My back ground is Mechanical engineering and Physics and that maybe explains how I work.

@K2-K6, I did read your comments on the thread, and when appropriate I will respond.

Hi,

Found this post after ashimotok0 pointed out. I thought I was registered to this forum, but it was the other one, the SOHC/4 site. I was active there under the name supersports400. Written one large thread  about my CB400F, http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=65233.0.

Intresting views and comments on my thread here, I will certainly respond when I have a little more time on my hands.

Jensen

btw, this is my SOHC4:
