New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
mattsz:
The 400 is being stored in a heated shop for the winter! 8)
But it's 1/2 an hour from me... :(
I went up there today, to poke at a few things - forgot to bring the key with me, so electrical tests were a hassle! Reinstalled my now-unbent rear turn signal bracket; tested the light but it wouldn't work. Turns out the bulb was fried - nice and cloudy.
Could it be the original? How long has it been since Stanley made bulbs?

Inside the same turn signal housing, the plastic's "chrome" lining is peeling off in sheets - I wonder if the bulb's hazy failure is related?
Bryanj:
Stanley are still in production and that milky colour is caused by air leaking into the envelope
mattsz:
The guy I bought my Sylvania replacement bulbs from said Stanley hasn't made bulbs for years... maybe he just hasn't sold them...

Went to fetch the wee Honda today! It wasn't very happy to leave its winter home, I'm sure! (see attached) I'm looking forward to cleaning it up and reassembling it and try to get it running!
Oddly, after sitting for over a year with hardly a drop of oil on the floor, I found it today with a couple of puddles beneath it. Not much, about a half-teaspoon between the two - but I wonder why it's decided to weep just over the last six weeks?

It did an excited wee because it was going home. 😂
