TT next year hey, Nice one Mark, you will think you are Mike Hailwood, but be carefull with the wrists.. :o
I know exactly what you mean about the indicators, I constantly forget to turn them off, or if I do remember I push the switch too much & the other side are then on, which is very dangerous..
on my other modern bikes you only have to push the button to cancel them
Hopefully see you in a few weeks at clay cross

I picked a few drills from my drawer of many drills and tried them in the stock holes until I found the closest, sorry I didn't take note of the size, hondaman says one eighth of an inch, but I'm guessing it's metric, so 3mm if memory serves?, I can't find the link myself now but found it before by googling "hondaman clutch mod", you have to trawl through quite a few similar threads before you find it!.

Isn't there something in Hondaman's advise on clutch modification about lengthwise groves up to the holes inside to sort of catch oil for the hole?
Should be more of an improvement than just extra holes!
I've seen somewhere lately that very early CB750 did not have these holes at all?
And I wrote to Honda in the day asking for advice on that clonking. Dated Sep.16 1969.
Still have the answer a nice Air Mail postcard telling me to contact their distributor for my area to whom they have forwarded my letter.
Where of cause I had already been having bought the CB750 there, and they knew nothing. Was the first one they sold.
Really I do not remember anything were ever done.
Erling.
P.S. About turn lights try to get used to turn it off the very moment the turning are started!
