So, what's this then?

Orcade-Ian:
Thanks Johnny,
It will be a while before it touches down - M&R will pick it up sometime on their way back from the (in)continent.  Stator cover and badge are needed and James says L/H fork ear damaged - I think that might straighten carefully - like the ding in the front mudguard.  I'll sing out if there is anything you might have in the 'stash'.  Yes Sesman, seems pretty complete and relatively unmolested and as I have said previously it's to be used quickly and improved slowly!
I'm away at the weekend to NEC (Cars and Bikes) with the Shetland chaps so nothing much will happen for a while.

I know where they are a pair of NOS fork ears for an F1 if you need them.

Stator cover is off a 500, the 550 got one with the Honda sign embossed into the cover not a separate cover like the 500. Plus it's pretty damaged, clearly been down the road at some point.

Orcade-Ian:
Thanks for that info Ken,
I'll start the search for that - bound to be one around somewhere.  I'll see how I get on with the fork ear - careful planishing and a bit of rub n buff where the chrome will fail might be enough.  Tidy and useable will suffice - for the time being anyway.  I still wonder at my age how a far distant pile of inanimate metal can create such enjoyment - little lad at Christmas and all that!

Sesman:
I have a brand new 500 alternator cover badge  if required…..

Oddjob:
He'd need to ensure the clips are still inside the holes Phil, they have a tendency to rust and fall to bits.

If Ian doesn't want it I'd be interested, may do a swap for a pair of polished end caps  ;D ;D ;D
