I had CD175 parts painted candy red a few years ago by Dream Machine the price was good, all steel parts blasted back to bare metal. The finish was excellent and is still as good today. They will collect and deliver. I would certainly use them again.

If you find a local paint supplier who have Lechler Paints they usually have the codes for all the old colours. Usually cheaper than RS Paints who use Lechler.

Misc / Open / Re: Charging a 6v 450ah battery from flat in under 15 hours

If they are in series at 12v you will still have 225ah and not 450ah and ideally should charge at about 10% of capacity. So a charger that will put out 25 amp would be good.

If the panel is in shade at all or through the winter you will get very little power,hence the largish battery.
I have 200w of panel on the roof of my camper and in winter it can struggle.

I would put a 80w solar panel on the roof, to a decent charge controller and a 12v 120ah deep cycle battery and go from there. It should be good for years. All available from eBay

It's TV. What they chop up to get the end result doesn't seem to matter or the cost. At the end of the day the TV company picks up the tab.

That's how I ride all the time . Been a short arse I put my right foot down and keep my left on the peg for putting in gear. Otherwise you end up swapping from one foot to the other.

Humour / What to wish for
« on: January 06, 2016, 08:36:02 PM »
A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.
 She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.
 The frog said to her, 'If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.'
 The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, 'Thank you, but I failed to
 mention that there was a condition to your wishes.
 Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!'
 The woman said, 'That's okay.'
 For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
 The frog warned her, 'You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to'.
 The woman replied, 'That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me.'
 So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!
 For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
 The frog said, 'That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.'
 The woman said, 'That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.'
 So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!
 The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, 'I'd like a mild heart attack.'
 Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them.
 Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good.
 Male readers :
 Please scroll down.

 The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife.
 Moral of the story : Women are really dumb but think they're really
 smart.
 Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show.
 PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen...now run along and put the kettle on, there's a good lass

These look like they could do a job as long as the spigots are a good tight fit.  http://andrewsmotorsports.mybigcommerce.com/andrews-motorsports-honda-cb750-sohc-1969-1978-frame-custom-tube-connectors/

Thoughts please.

Thanks for the pics and links. The more I look the more it looks wrong to me, as said Honda wouldn't put bracing around the headstock if it wasn't needed. The spine tube itself isn't exactly big and I don't think mechanical fixings will be as rigid. I would like to see two frames on a test bed and load them up around the headstock to see the difference.

CB750 / 750 Weldless Frame Kit
« on: December 12, 2015, 08:51:32 PM »
I have just been looking on the USA site and reading about the 750 weldless frame kit and was wondering if anyone fairly local to me had one fitted that I could possibly look at. I am in Dewsbury, West Yorks.
Cheers Chris.
