Well, I hope this new bike doesn't stop me riding my Hondas - coz, it's great!

Only managed 90 miles so far and got it dirty but it is a joy to ride!!

No matter what I do, the personal messages I get and read always come up as unread and hence I get a message saying you have a new personal message.
Any clues on how to get over this?

I suppose this bike qualifies for this section as the 750 is actually a SOHC!!
Anyone got one of these and can give me their thoughts on it?
Considering a new bike in the spring and it is one on the list (together with the Triumph Tiger 660 and Triumph Speed 400)

In addition to the photographs, I also have a 1982 Honda dealer sales manual.
There maybe something there of interest to some of you! The holiday competition from Oct '71 is no longer valid!!
The 'ride longer on a honda' one is a window sticker

Left over in the tray from when the 400 was stripped is the part below:

Anyone know where it should live? Of course the PO could have fitted it but it does look commercially made....

I have been deliberating over this topic and before I go much further, I would appreciate some thoughts!
Engine in and various ancillaries installed. Now with the fixed starter switch, I can turn the engine over with ease.
The problem comes trying to use the kick start. With the clutch engaged and the gearbox in neutral, the kick start appears to be locked. Disengage the clutch and the kick start works (but obviously not turning the crank!) Bike is still on my bike lift.
I have had the clutch basket off a few times and can't see where the issue may be.
Any thoughts?

Should one be able to dismantle the advance/retard unit? My spare unit is really stiff and the cam section seems to be reluctant to withdraw from the plate.

I have only just realised that the kick start on my bike is wrong!!  Anyone got a decent one they want to sell? Matt

My start button has somehow been damaged inside (I have no idea how, as it was fine before I started the engine rebuild!) Anyone got the RHS unit that I can get the appropriate parts from? I'd rather not replace the whole unit if I can..

Does someone have a photo to hand of the oil pump area (ie with the chain guard removed)? I have put the wiring for the alternator back as I thought it should be based on the wire clip in the parts book but it just doesn't look right.

A single owner bike that has been off the road for almost 30 years. I need to assess it but it looks pretty good - mostly covered in oil and protective film.
Accident on loading - a smashed side panel! Hurumph!

Anyone know if the 2 bolts securing the calliper to the bracket are high tensile. As the brackets/calliper are cast ally, I was wondering if high tensile was required. The existing bolts are unmarked and of course, have a smaller head but this could be overcome with a socket head.

Anyone have the size to hand?
The parts book has it as : (B.T6S) 96201-80000
Measured mine and it seems a strange size....
