Whoops. A bit of a major omission on my part :-\ I'm in Portsmouth, Hampshire :)

Well it's mine now :) Best place to start is for me to send you some photos. Then you can decide if it's worth making an offer for any of it ::)

Hi, I have recently discovered and obtained an M reg cb500/4 hidden in the depths of a friends garage. There are no keys, V5 or frame plate :-[ and the engine wont turn over. But there is a very reasonable Motad 4/1 fitted, an undamaged rear hub, an externally rusty but internally clean tank ( with fuel still in it - so not leaking ) finished in a very attractive brushed black ::) Clocks show 76000 and there is no known history of the bike - he didn't even know it was there!
I have tried to attach some pictures but have failed :( Anyone interested in any bits or the whole bike email me;
jandhbound@virginmedia.com       as I have numerous photos

Thanks for all the advice :) I have ordered a set from Image Works, and very helpful they were too!!
In the course of my inquiries it appears that " Sunrise " have had a David Silver experience with Hondas legal team and are currently declining anything to do with big H graphics. :(

Hi, I am getting ready to have the tank and side panels resprayed this autumn. I thought I had seen the two stripe white tank side decals on David Silvers site, but now no sign of them. I emailed them and they said they cannot help with this :-[......so did I dream it? Anyway now have the problem of what to do. Any of the sages on here have any suggestions? :)

« on: September 06, 2012, 08:29:20 AM »
Incredible, I have actually ridden this beast off road! It belonged to a good mate of mine who probably brought it off the person daz sold it to. He used it a number of times off road in the Wiltshire area and on one occasion offered me a ride on it " cos I was into old Hondas!" Went well, but stopping and changing direction were interesting to say the least! Last I heard it had been sold to a young lady in the Littlehampton  ( no seriously ) area.

Has anyone on here recently had their tank and side panels resprayed. If so who did you use and what did you pay? :-[ Most importantly what was the finished result like. I am in Hampshire and would obviously prefer someone local but expect that this will not be the case! ;)

Thanks for all of the advice :) I have discovered that my safe breaking career is a non starter so went down the route of growing 8 inch long by .3 inch wide multi directional fingers :o That is to say I have finally removed both bolts and got the seat off!! The biggest disappointment was not finding "the lost key" under the seat. :-[

Now to get the number off the barrel and get TWO keys cut. ;D

Hi, I have managed to lose my only key to the seat lock :'( I know I should have got a spare cut ages ago, but I was never going to lose it was I.............................................

Well now I have and don't really know what to do, drill it out? get someone to pick it?

I have looked all over it - well as much as I can see - for a number or a code but nothing is visible.

Anyone on here have any sensible :) suggestions please?

Thanks to everyone who responded. It WAS the plug!! I cannot ever remember having a new plug fail but that is what has happened. Replaced it with one of the old originals and I now have a 4 rather than a triple. :D
