KC, I agree with Pete and Rob, if that don't rattle their can, nothing will.
I have a number at home of a pro painter that may be able to help, I'll look it up for you tonight.

Perhaps your head gasket is leaking and letting water from the cooling system into the cylinders, just a thought.

I bought a Vance & Hines drag pipe that was made for the DOHC series, it does fit the SOHC ports but you have to prise #1 and #4 a little to make them go in, they do seal in to the ports.

Hi Seamus, as Nick has not released any info yet, i'll leave it to him to tell all.
As much as I can tell you, the capacity is open, the motor is being tuned in the States and built over here using American parts. It's going to be a real flyer.

The C really does have more than one meaning and you would probably be right in saying it stands for commuter bike, or as I said the basic model in a series.
In the case of the very early years (late 40s) it stood for 3rd generation of bikes.
As we know it from the late 50s it stands for basic model and started with the C70, a 250 twin in 1957
which later spawned the C72/77 known as Dreams.
There were several other models around at that time that had the CB prefix and if you check them out on Google images, you will see that the the ones with the B attached were sportier and that little bit faster.
Search, C92/CB92, C95/CB95, C72/CB72 and you will see the distinct sportier looks of the CB.
Where the commuter tag probably came in was with the C100 and C90 step throughs.
