Not sure if this was correct but anyway. Tesco 15/40 mineral oil £10 for 2 litres, same oil 4 litres £4.🤔. I seen little point in arguing with the self service checkout machine. Maybe they were selling off the 4litre ones as it was the only one in the shop?

Yes very exciting stuff, I will be very interested to see how they fit also as must buy a set in the future. Yes Phil the problem is a set of these 341’s is the price of a good shed. 😂😂😡😡

Yes nice bike, could easily have come off a Honda assembly line! I don’t remember any up in Orkney, but I do remember at least two GS550E’s. one black with blue decals and one dark red/maroon/burgundy colour. Always liked the black one but struggled to just keep my MK2 Cortina on the road at that time so could only dream.

That’s a very interesting piece of Honda history! Thanks for sharing.

I thought it was uk because I have a uk K3 and it has three holes for rear lights and number plate mount.

Is this bike giving birth to the brass section of an orchestra? Hate it! Each to their own.

I had a similar problem with my 25 year old belstaff boots. Gorilla glue was my saviour, seems to have stuck well! What? What? 😂😂  I like them! I will find myself a new pair of course.

CB500/550 / Honda cb550k3 Speedo
« on: July 30, 2020, 10:37:11 PM »
I have a noisy speedo, also a bit jittery. It’s not going to go away so I will remove and send off in the winter. Any recommendations for someone to repair?

CB500/550 / Re: Wheel rebuilding
« on: July 30, 2020, 07:03:55 AM »
Very satisfying to do yourself. My introduction to wheel building was a bicycle maintenance book. So I trued up an old buckled bicycle wheel using an old front forks upturned and stuck in the vice. I now have a cheapo wheel balancing jig/stand modified to true wheels in. Each to their own but I still prefer the brightness of the chrome rims compared to Stainless, but defo stainless spokes.
