Hi Dave

Put your location in your profile and it will appear on the left of the screen and save all those "where are you?" posts.

We also like pictures!

Are you a member on sohc4.net? (most of us are)

OK I'll bite, whats up with the 500 and what year is it? Welcome by the way

[SteveD CB500K0]

There's a section of your profile that lists gender, age and location. You don't have to complete gender and age if you don't want to, but location certainly helps.

And I'm a 500 fan too. What's the problem?

Hello, I'm on the other side of the river, if you need a hand with the bike let me know, the engine can't be much different from my 400 one.

steve, i'm lookin at profile but it wont let me click on it,more like information than access !!!
hi bryanj,snagged yer with me 1st cast
she's an f1,and she was a daily hack for a mate of mine till he started gettin oil in the pot/s..he stripped it down as far as the head,but noticed the oil pipe jets were missin so he kind of blamed that and just left it,he knew i loved 550s so let me have it,shes had a rough life.hammerite silver/black,most nuts rounded/mole grip marks[breaks my heart]tank an panels rough sprayed with no laquer,but i dont care she'll get tlc now..
so will the oil jet pipes missing affect oil in pot or is it the rings

cheers guys
