New member in London
« on: December 30, 2017, 07:58:46 AM »
Hi there.

New member although I’ve had my cb500/4 for about 10 years. I’ll post some pictures later on. It’s been off the road a couple of years but I’ve finally fixed the seized front brake, replaced one of the exhaust and the battery and shed running again so New Years resolution is to be back on the road!

Welcome to the forum, you'll enjoy it on here. If you are from London where did you buy the Honda from, Speedway of Acton, Mocheck, Elite Motorcycles maybe?

Bought my Honda from Bacon’s motorcycles in Newbury Park. Don’t know if it was a part ex or what but it had really low mileage. Have used them a bit for services etc and they’ve been great. Is there anyone who specialises in these bikes around London?

I tend to do all my own servicing for the old bikes. 
 take my VFR to APC motorcycles in Eastcote, Middlesex for servicing.  I have known them for years and they do 101% top job, Bill Bailey is the man to see, what he doesn't know isn't worth knowing anyway.  They have just started offering bead and vapour blasting services and also have a miling machine and a lathe, Andy runs this side of the business and used to service Kawasaki's for a main dealer years ago.
