I cant afford to get the bike to 'as mr Honda made' condition but I do intend to get it to look like it is from a showroom. I'll go with the solid bar and be done with it  ;D

its hollow, that's why I didn't beat the hell out of it!!!!!

Sprocket:
So, as per my project thread, I've got as far as cutting a slot along the length with a (modified) hacksaw blade, but it's still not moving anywhere. I think I might try and cut another slot a bit further round, to remove a chunk of the tube and get it moving.

That's the best way to do it, do the second cut fairly close to the first ( 5-10mm away) then with an old screwdriver or similar try tapping the thin strip in towards the middle. Once that is done it gives you space to crush the main part of the tube towards the centre, then it will come out.

One of the Centre stand lugs on mine has broken off. Presumably when the previous owner (honest) was trying to remove it. Does anyone make and supply a pattern part replacement or will I have to get one fabricated and welded in?
