Misc / Open / Metal shroud plug caps ND part no,
« on: June 14, 2015, 06:49:26 PM »
Can anyone tell me the Nippon Denso part numbers for the metal shrouded plug caps as fitted to Euro CB750K0 and CB400F? The part number is stamped into the metal shrouding.

Finishing soon... could easily be turned into a £5k + investment. (WELL 7-8K if 'Frank' was selling it). Nice rims, original pipes etc.
I owned one 'back in the day'...well the CB72 250cc....  but never really got on with it and much preferred the CB250K2 with Read-Titan 325cc conversion, I soon replaced it with. Remember knocking this 'posh' kid from Alwoodley in Leeds (posh Jewish community bit) down from £35 to £32.50 for that CB72  :-[

if you are interested in  it  & it doesn't sell call 'em on Monday and make a deal,off eBay  before they relist it. James tipped me off on that one. They OFTEN  list a bike and it doesn't sell, then they relist it and it goes for high money. Don't ask me to explain this  :o

Be warned though I know a guy whose marriage broke up over the obsessive restoration of one of these.

OR you could be Elvis HuhHu  ::)

CB750 / 341 Pipes
« on: June 09, 2015, 08:54:04 AM »
Just watched these finish with no bids.

Out of touch with availability of HM341 pipes but I reckon between 400 and 500 to polish & chrome these based on my quote from a chromer of a similar size used pipe that needed chrome stripping plus caustic dip for yonks that were quoted as  125 GBP each

CB750 / Could this be a proper K0 with linked carbs
« on: June 06, 2015, 08:04:49 PM »
Could this be a proper K0 with linked carbs?? Interim model ?? like DSS sold James May and was from France


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB750-K0-Project-barn-find-/221793607598?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item33a3eddfae

Engine sounds like K1 but dunno about 'interim' rare model
I don't think it is a US import because it has correct km/h clocks for Italian market. I would have thought the airbox would be later 'ribbed' black type though.


CB750 (1969-1970)
frame from 1000001,
engine from E1000001

Misc / Open / My latest contraption .. vibrating parts polisher
« on: June 05, 2015, 07:11:33 PM »
Built a parts polisher two 50p bowls and a 30p funnel from Wilco plus a bit of big boys (or girls) Meccano. Motor is from an old Vibrasaun massager  with eccentric disk on it but one from a dishwasher pump would probably do. great for polishing pre-plating and after zinc removal using the Ashimoto 'witches brew'. I am using glass bead media as I don't have any ground walnut shell type. It sits on 4 CB250K clutch springs !

Misc / Open / Spoke Nipples
« on: June 04, 2015, 09:24:47 AM »
Question from me on HondaTwins.net site:  Any comments on here about this? Trigger ? Bryan? Oddjob?  Etc.

"Some of my original Honda  spoke nipples have thin dished washers under them and some don't. Difficult as Honda don't seem to list a separate nipple part number".

Ash (UK)

Reply from another HondATwins member:


"The domed washers are often used to allow a slightly larger hole diameter for the spoke.... (to correct for slight differences in hub diameter or hole's drilled angle for instance.....) ...
They also act as a "thrust" or bearing washer simplifying accurate tightening of the nipples...."

Misc / Open / Zinc Plating Prices
« on: June 03, 2015, 12:59:46 PM »
QUOTE ON BZP ... I couldn't buy the chemicals for much less than they charge.

Home plating is great and I have done quite a bit for small rare items but its messy and time consuming IMHO

Subject: BZP steel parts
 

Hello, I need to get some carbon steel components re zinc plated (BZP   ...  barrel if possible). They are all:-
Corrosion free
Stripped of old zinc plate using hot caustic/EDTA  solution at 70 deg C, so I can guarantee old plating has been removed
I have either tumble polished or fine bead blasted them after BZP removal
They are thus grease free.
about 10% need yellow chromate passivate, the rest blue passivate.
They are mostly small fastener parts and the total volume is approximately a large shoe-box full.
 
Can you give me an estimate on turnaround and rough price guide please. I am only in Willerby, Hull,  East Yorkshire,  so drop off and pickup is no problem.
 
Kind regards .. Ashley Derrick 07515121226

Misc / Open / Adhesive remover
« on: June 03, 2015, 07:30:46 AM »
Try this.

http://www.stripperspaintremovers.com/pdfs/AR-510%20Usage%20Data.pdf

You can buy two sample quantities of 500ml each (total 1 litre)  and get free delivery for 13 GBP. Nice people to deal with too.

Please note that this product contains dichloromethane (methylene chloride) and must only be used for adhesive removal. Using it for stripping paint or lacquer is against the law unless you are licenced.  ;)

CB750 / True price of 750K0
« on: May 28, 2015, 02:07:26 PM »
This person seemed to list his CB750K0  bike at a reasonable auction  price, not sure if it sold or not. Rob a friend of mine and fellow 350K twin owner, sent the seller a very valid question on it, as he had owned one in early 1970 and has been watching all of the examples sold recently. (The seller included his question at the end) I reckon people like 'Frank' on eBay are artificially  hiking up the price but never actually realize anything like the asking price. I have always pitched on my UK K0 being worth about 9k when complete (not that I reckon I will ever sell it)  and this is  what the seller was asking as  a start price for his.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111671781774?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Make no mistake though that those early bikes are money pits with sharks (mainly on eBay UK ) out to pull a fast one on you. Example this looks a little optimistic when Saisei have a set of Yamiya NoNo pipes on there at the same time at less than half the price. A well respected sandcast restorer I know took a brand new set of HM300's off his bike and bought a set of no.no. ones from Saisei as he considers they are more in keeping with the original pipes and without the 'paragraphing' stamped into them. My Genuine HM300's are stashed in the loft but when I eventually get the bike done and come to fit them, God knows if they will fit properly as i heard horror stories about fit and quality at the end of production.

Anyone know a bulk source for exact equivalents of Honda plain & spring washers in BZP?

I got a pack 50 off 12 mm AF m8x1.25 BZP 'JIS" nuts from Amazon USA for 10 GBP inc  delivery, recently  (thanks David @ Saisei for finding them)

CB350/400 / Link to 'Bike' Roadtest of 400/4

http://www.abacuscaralarms.co.uk/bikes/Test_Reports/Honda_CB400F.html

They mention VASCAR speed enforcement in the article ....... that was an acronym I had forgotten about.

JGC 606N is still in existence in bits but the owner also has another mega-rare iconic Honda and they, sadly,  have both been in bits for 30 years 'ish. It was a Euro model (note indicators)

Misc / Open / Registering with Yahoo auctions Japan
« on: May 18, 2015, 08:43:58 AM »
Trying to track down unique parts for the CB250 JDM only ' Dream' Relica I am hoping to build as a 'future' project starting with spare  parts I have  from a UK '69 CB250SS (K0)

A few leads on Yahoo Auctions Japan (no eBay there .. we used to have Yahoo here but it was gobbled up by eBay  >:(    :(  ).

Has anyone on here successfully registered?

Trouble is trying to register proving difficult. I have got a good lead from a CB350G owner in Japan, who teaches English there,  so maybe he can help me too.

Not contacted DK yet . They have an  office in Japan I think
