Yes Jason, unfortunately no choccies left in the tin. That's in the 'dirty' workshop and is full of a load of rusty non Honda nuts, bolts, Allen screws etc that he finds when stripping engines. He wouldn't have a dirty old tin like that in the engine building room, that is cleaner than an operating theatre !!!

Yes Paul, it is very handy being able to tap Trig for advice, he has his uses ;D ;D ;D Joking aside, I don't know how anyone does this sort of engine work just by using a Haynes manual, it is so basic and it doesn't explain 'why' you need to do something a certain way, which is no good for an inquisitive girl like myself.

Carefull you don't get the bug or you will be wanting your own workshop.
How is the 500/550 build going.
Can't remember which it was.

My other bike is almost done now, it's a CB550 mongrel. The tank and panels should be back from the painters next week. The downpipes are ready to bolt on along with a stubby silencer. Graham has fabricated a new clock bracket because I'm using lots of CB500 parts including CB500 clocks and because of the angle the cables come out of the clocks, they fouled on the headlight bowl. He has also fabricated a side mount number plate bracket. All the wiring is done and she fires. I now need to make the seat. I'm not planning to have it on the road until next spring. In the meantime I have parked her in Grahams office for the winter ;D ;D [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
