CB350/400 / Clutch cable guide
« on: May 03, 2023, 10:37:51 AM »
Could anyone tell me the DEFINITE place for this clutch cable guide, I just can’t remember and after trying to put it in various places, apart from the fact it fouls the tank I can’t for the life of me remember where it went and how. Sadly don’t have any shots in the camera from  disassembly to give me a prompt…..
Any shots gratefully received

Desperately Seeking!! / 400f front mudguard
« on: May 01, 2023, 04:28:32 PM »
Hi all, anyone got any spare, slightly knackered front mudguards? Just the guard not the stay,?

The one I’ve just started working appears to be badly holed under a raft of crap repairs.

Not a biggie, just don’t want to order a new one to then cut it up. I only need about 9” from the front of the brace and about 9” back.
It’ll get nannied and prepped for paint so not bothered if it’s a bit dinged and beaten up, if it’s summut near, yes please.

Humour / Funny because it’s ridiculous!
« on: April 24, 2023, 08:52:25 PM »
We’ve had holes in-the road by our front door for ages and finally they came today to fill them. Whoop whoop and indeed whoop. No more clunky suspension noises from cars banging over/into them.
They turned up dropping various rock hard piles of cold lay tarmac in and kept going. I thought, ok they’re going to the top of the hill, bout 150 yards, turn round and whacker plate the piles with the one in the back of their transit pick up and sweep up on their way down. They took a while and thought they must be doing a bit of car park at the top.

Weeeell.. they’d been a while as they’d reversed into my pals motor, taken the bumper off it and folded in the bonnet, driven down the hill at 3mph trying to run over all the piles to bed them down before buggering off!

Whhhaaaaat!

This what we’re left with………….

I’ve rung them.!
Firstly knackering my pals Audi, sayin nowt and driving off is bonkers but to leave anything like that is simply incredible. All on 4 different houses door cameras showing the van and the op pi’s and the reg plate..

Good snooze fodder but interesting process. No wonder they cost so much, that's quite 'a firm' running there........

CB500/550 / Cam re profile.
« on: March 17, 2023, 08:20:44 PM »
Evening peeps,
As most of you know the bike's in bits again and whilst the lids off I thought it might be a good wheeze to get the cam reprofiled to allow a bit more duration both in and out to improve what midrange there is and basically be a faster bike than Phil's just so I have the mental edge, yer know ;D

Anyway, has anybody had this done and if so where at and at what bonkers cost was it? AND, was it any good post op?

I've sent a message to Newman's but whilst chatting to a few on here a discussion was mentioned with reccomendations and I can remember the thread but cant find it Any avice chap's and chapess's'sss?

Hi all, does anyone know where I can get this stuff from? It’s the sort of stuff they cut holes in for tools in roller cabs, yer know.
I can only find it at really expensive money and wondered if an if you lot knew of any going or know of a good outlet for it. I’m after some for packing up the battery  in the cradle. on the build and as it’s a lithium one it’s quite small.

Also, would anybody have a spare rubber boot thingy for going over connectors in the loom? I’ve not seen them for sale and saved the two I thought I had from old looms for this build. Sadly I’ve been visited by the little furry garage helpers who decided that it was far better to chew up than for me to stick in the new loom leaving me short of one for the front of the bike. It’s one of the bigger ones….

What is it? / Anyone recognise these?
« on: February 01, 2023, 09:56:41 PM »
Found them in a box of gubbins brought into work by a chap knowing I like Honda’s and associated expensive rust traps. Anybody know what these are off?

They’re straight and I’m not bad Nick to be fair and no dents. Bit of rust mind but I’m sure it’s retrievable.

Desperately Seeking!! / Spare calliper
« on: January 27, 2023, 01:07:04 PM »
After a front calliper if anyone has one going spare?
Unbeknown to me the one I bought and nannied up has a little brass insert missing in  the ‘line in’ thread meaning the hard line won’t clamp up tight on mine. Has anybody got a spare they want rid of?

Thanks in advance
