Great news about the starter motor/noise issue - exhaust bracket looks bob on - might need to change the bolts like you said but not something that shouts at you.

Hey mate, yeah my thougts exactly but it's all I had in the drawers to mount it with for now. There aren't any other hex head bolts on the bike as Ive tried to keep everything Honda and I think the list so far is bolts, nuts and fastenings etc from 1991 vfr750, 1992 VFR400, 2002 vfr800, CB500, CB550, NS125RK and CB900. Just stuff in the bolts bins in the workshop, use what you've got and as long as it fits and looks ok and in keeping, no problem. Saves a bit on buying new stuff and theyre perfectly sevicable items tha thave come up like new.
I think the only bits of the bike that came from the original pile are the motor, carbs, top yolk (not tripple tree ???) and coils the rest has had to be sought and bought.
Did somebody mention Triggers Broom a while ago? ;D
It was never going to be a concourse resto and was only ever going to be a mongrel ;D

That made me smile - we have all done it I guess - we had a set of those Silicone rubber safety wrap edge things that Aldi used to sell to stop me doing it again.
They work great but look a bit crap after a few months when burnt fat marks them - binned when we had a new kitchen.

Mongrels can be better to own than pedigrees.
Laverdaroo:
I agree completely Phil ;D
