CB350/400 / WoW - Chroming is how much for the front mudguard????
« on: February 11, 2022, 05:02:33 PM »
Hi,

popped into the local chroming place I have used before to get a price for chroming the front mudguard. They quoted me £400 and they even smiled as they said it. I did check it was chrome and not gold plated!

That's ridiculous, I can only assume they are pricing me out.

Looks like a repo one for me. Any good places to get one?

« on: January 22, 2022, 11:50:30 AM »
I've mislaid one of the screws for attaching the cam chain horse shoe. I see they drilled through, can i get away with just an ordinary bolt? Also, do you loctite them in?

CB350/400 / Crank Finally Measured by Engineering Firm but I'm confused
« on: November 17, 2021, 05:43:30 PM »
I must admit now that i'm a little of of my depth.

Firstly I had a local engineering firm measure the crank up but when i look at the manual it looks likes it's too worn. Is that correct?

I also had connecting rods measured with the bearings (at least 3 anyhow!) but i'm not sure where this leads me.

I'm think bolt the connecting rods on, plastigauge for clearance for bearing size???

CB350/400 / Another bearing journal topic
« on: April 21, 2021, 03:43:18 PM »
Hi, had a go at measuring the clearance on one journal using plastic gauge (grey). There's a first time for everything. Not got my hands dirty since I got rid of my MKII escort some 25 years ago

The bearing looks shot but the journal in tolerance I think according to the manual.

CB350/400 / Rear Brake Return Spring Location
« on: March 15, 2021, 01:48:57 PM »
Hi,

i did look at some of the older post reference the rear brake return spring.

I'm sure mine is wrong as the spring does not have any tension. Please take a look at the pictures and tell me where i have gone wrong!

Thanks

CB350/400 / Front Brake Assemby Picture (on the bike)
« on: February 16, 2021, 05:55:03 PM »
Hi,

having a bit of drama with bits n bobs on the Honda. So I've stopped working in the headlight and electrics as my little brain is confused.

I thought I would add the front brake hose assembly etc. Can someone take a picture of it attached to the forks (brake block that holds the switch) and just for comfort, around the caliper itself/

thanks in advance

Wrong idiot light cluster?
