I did get a set of new TEC rear shocks for the 400 though :). The guy who sells the TEC shocks only has two pairs left, after they sell, that's it.

Got his details Dave?

The guy selling the TEC shocks is:
BHP Performance
His name is David Hunt
Tel: 01932786030
Call evenings and weekends or leave a message. He is TEC's South of England agent.
He has two pairs of the fully exposed spring type (the correct look) and two pairs of the shrouded type left in stock. They cost £60/pair and are/were made in Australia by IKON so decent quality.
They are 315mm centre to centre and not the 310mm of the genuine Honda items but you really won't notice.
Good luck getting a pair as TEC have no idea when they will be making anymore.

You need to speak with Oddjob (Ken) about the rat pi$$. I would pressure wash it and then chuck some neat Zoflora over it. I sprayed some of it in my shed over a year ago and you can still smell it. Thankfully, is didn't have rats in it..just a bit pongy after the roof leaked.

I've bought some Jeyes fluid Ash on the recommendation of Nigel. I'm going to spray it on and leave it for a bit to work before using a pressure washer to clean it off. Before I clean it though I need to get the seat off which is going to be difficult with no key :(.
Yep, it's not the CB160 or CB175 I was actually after but this bike has some history to me and I would like to restore it to the day I first saw it (and heard it with the Marshall pipe that eventually fell off in the Hanger Lane gyratory underpass!).
MCTID:
Hahaha that takes me back Dave......I wish I had a quid for every Safety Induction Course I presented in my 22 years at London Underground.....impressing upon the 'Invincibles' (the 25 year old's who knew it all) about how Weils Disease could kill them within 24 hours if they contracted it....and how NOT to keep their working clothes etc loose in the boot of their car because their Missus would be putting the Tesco shopping in the same boot the day after !
Happy daze.
Good luck with the latest money pit....no doubt it will get there in the end and be something to be proud of once again.
Oddjob:
Remove the nuts holding the locking bar onto the seat pan, seat will then come off and the bar can be removed by twisting it sideways. Hardest part is getting a spanner onto the nuts but 1/4" drive sockets could be the answer.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It will be interesting to see the dismantling & rebuild as you progress if you decide to do a project thread.
Stuff like getting the seat off without a key for instance will be of interest to others.
