Such generosity. Especially from a Yorkshireman.
Must be applauded. 😜

The Ram air cowling made the 380/550 a pig to ride in the rain.
As the sparks would rather dance over the cowl rather than go fown the plug. A gimmick but looked pretty trick.

Hello Ash.
Yes It is the one from Steve's spares. But as previously stated.
It is too long & too large a diameter. Yes the length could be cut down.
But the main body of the baffle is too big fit into the silencer. That's before we get to the end collar where the fixing screw is. That is even larger diameter.
Why after 30 years of ownership the baffle should fall out, us beyond me. But I'm really pee,d about it. It's loss has spoilt a lovely little tidy bike.
I am touched by your kind offer of a replacement. And the present availability situation appears to leave me no alternative but to accept.
Please let me know your price.
And if I can find a replacement. I will of course forward it on to you.
Sean.

I don't think there would be anything left of the collar if turned down
By 2mm.

Just a quick update.
I bought the baffle off ebay. Nut unfortunately it will not fit.
As it is 30mm too long & 25mm wide rather than the 23mm of the original. The search continues.

Hello Ash.
I rather thought you would come up with something.
And indeed you have.
I thought as Bryan suggested. I w.ould have to get one made.
I never thought they could be used on other models. I dont really understand why Honda fitted removable baffles in a 4 stroke exhaust in the first place.
Anyway. Armed with the info you have given me. I searched ebay.
There appears to be loads of baffles that should fit. Certainly cheap enough to take a gamble on.
I must say, my heart sank when I noticed the baffle missing.
Thankfully not such a disaster after all.
Thank you to Ash & Bryan.

Hello fellow members.
I have just been out for a run on my Sloper. First time it's been out in a couple of years. Great little bike.
But unfortunately. I have lost a Baffle from the oem exhausts.
I don't suppose there are any fellow members, who may have a spare baffle they would be willing to sell. Would there?
Yours living in hope.
Sean.

For what it's worth.
I have heard that the pipes the produce for the Suzuki Gt750.
Fit perfectly & are well regarded.
Regarding Chrome. I believe they are plated by Niphos in Crewe. A company I have used many times over many years. With excellent results.

So it would appear that the stainless option would not have a detrimental effect on the bikes originality. I asked because I thought it may have.
Stainless it is then. Off to Alan Atkinson I go. He has built a few wheels gor me previously.
Thank you all for your advice.

Hello.
I have a very nice CB175 K6. Built using about 80% nos parts.
The wheels are original. I polished the spokes about 10 years ago. But a few are now showing rust. Even though it lives as an ornament in my living room.
So I ask. Should I just replace the rusted spokes, have all the spokes re, plated, replace with new zinc spokes or stainless.
Thank in advance.

I have two cb175 k6. But I do prefer the look of the earlier model.
Especially in gold. I think this is due to the first one I saw back in 71 being gold. I thought it looked lovely. A proper big bike. In miniature.
Love riding the 175. Great fun.
