I have 2 CB 450s that I am registering, one didn't have a title so I got a dating certificate whereas the other had the title etc .I sent of 2 lots of applications and last week had an inspection for the non titled bike which I expected & today I get another email saying the one with the title needs an inspection as well. What is the point of having a title if the DVLA ignore what its for . Rant over

CB500/550 / What am I doing wrong?
« on: May 15, 2023, 05:08:25 PM »
Hi all , my 550 F is stalling and lurching forward when put in gear , I have tried to adjust at both ends and turned the adjuster screw till it gets resistance but to no avail . The clutch arm is moving freely and I made sure the little notches lined up , could the plates be stuck as not ridden for a bit while refurb took place . Any help appreciated 🙏

CB500/550 / 550F charge issue?
« on: February 27, 2023, 06:47:47 PM »
Hi all , when checking over my bike I tested the battery with my multi meter, the battery was 11.84v with the bike off . With it switched on it dropped to 11.45v and with it started and revving it rose to 11.49v . I put the battery on my other F1 and when revved it rose to nearly 12.8 v . Does anyone think I have a charging issue 🤔

CB500/550 / Tank Decal
« on: December 28, 2022, 08:38:39 PM »
Hi all , I am doing a 500/ 550 tank and am wondering if you can buy the tank decal including the black area as the only ones I have seen are the white lines and you have to paint the black area yourself. TIA
