Honda-SOHC

Drew,
Photos of locations of Battery Caution, Tyre Information and Safety Information labels attached.
Photo of Helmet Holder label already in a previous post (have you found the label?).
If you want measurements I will try and oblige.
Have I missed any?

Whoops, messed up the previous post. Meant to have several attachments showing position of lugs
etc so you can check yours aren't bent. Try these.

Here's some more, from a different angle. The rubber is tight to get over the lug on the tank, probably even more so with a brand new one.

Definitely only one hole each side on my frame. Can't check the indicator mounts as the rear indicators on my bike were on straight stalks.

The holes look a bit big for the mounts trigger suggested, as I recall the mounting screw size for those was only something like M5.

Could have been holes for a rack support. If you still have it were there corresponding holes in the rear mudguard, otherwise the holes would be 'blind'.

Oh, and did you win that fuse box lid?

Those on my 9000 mile 400 F2 are silver / stainless and I believe they are the originals.

The clips Drew suggests look the business - closer to the original type and much better than jubilee clips.
If / when you order can you post price details here please Julie. It would be interesting to see how they
compare in that respect to the DSS items or jubilees.

I have just bought some rear shocks for my CB400/4 from TEC Bike Parts (www.tecbikeparts.com/Home_Page.html) - their stuff seemed
to have decent reviews so I thought I'd give them a try. I found the top mount for the new shocks is narrower than the mount on the bike.

When I queried this I was told that "we use industry standard 21mm width mounts, some years of Honda have 25mm mounts. Usually all
you need to do id add some 16mm id washers to space them". I'm sure this will work, and is probably what I will end up doing.

My mounts are 25mm and those on my CB250 G5 also appear to be 25mm although I haven't actually removed the shocks to check.
I haven't come across this 'industry standard 21mm' stuff before and was wondering firstly what width the mounts are on other models of
bike, and secondly whether anyone else has had anything from TEC and what they thought of it.

Thanks in advance for comments.

Have to agree with the comment about bronze rims, I too think it would look good.

Usual finishes seem to be mainly either chrome or black, bronze would be that bit different.

Chris

Thanks Drew. Can't see any on there now, you must have had the only one!

DSS list the part if you search by part number, and give the part number that superseded the original, but currently out of stock.
Maybe I'll add it to the list of bits to buy when I make up an order - perhaps they'll have some by then.
