Honda-SOHC

I have just ordered the chrome trim for my CB500-4

 very reasonable,only £11 including p&p,

as its not available at CMSNL'com.or DSS


 thought I would give it a go,,


still need the pin stripes for the tank sides,both OOS at DSS and CMSNL,if you guys can suggest a supplier !!

PS, will let you know about delivery and quality when it arrives

thanks Mike and Trigger,

 just searched Dis-cover,it could be Stroud in Glouscester.,

local to me,although the cost of £30 including P&P is very reasonable,

willing to support local industry !!

Paul, it even works better it you pop it in the oven at 200 for an hour. It then becomes fuel and fluid resistant.

in the past I have dunked the cans in a bucket of boiling water,works quite well !!


 electric or gas



BTW  I sometimes use a heat gun to heat items before spraying,I think the paint fixes better !!!

Fahrenheit you nutter 

I recently ordered a gearbox 16 T sprocket from Wemoto,

 fitted well,seemed well made ,and very quick delivery,

http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cb_500_four_k1_k2/72-73/

they have a few goodies,

I would recommend them

wow !!

  thats a whole heap of work,


   lets us know how it handles? 

  and how the motor runs

 

hi Lobo, 

   re the Boyer and voltage drop,I have kicked it when the starter is to low,

 not done any tests,

 but its good enough for me

I fitted EBC pads to my 500-4,they were rubbish ,no feel,no grip,but brilliant in heavy rain ?? go figure !!

went back to some spare ones I had ,and that was sorted ,

maybe the guy fitted these ? is the pad material grey ?

they could be these?  I fitted FAO13 ,for the  500/400 etc

this is ONLY my opinion,others may of had better results

This may seem to a lot of you like a dumb question but which are the inlet and exhaust valves on my cb500 four K1?
I know where they are but am not sure which is which.

if the valves are out of the head,you should have 4 large headed,and 4 smaller,the smaller are exhausts !! and fit at the front of the engine
