It’s home at last!

Think you’re right Ken although the original didn’t have the “Honda†embossed on the front. The new one I got was slightly shorter than original. Strange that the tool kits never changed much over a lot of years, but then again maybe a lot of the fittings probably never changed in size. If I’m ordering from CMS might just get one then can decide which to use.
Oddjob:
Seen the middle number though Johnny, 300, so off a 750 four. Just looked and the original bag provided by Honda was embossed and is the same part number. Plus they are sort of padded so they don't rattle like the plastic bag and they are far more robust so last much longer, those plastic ones just rip for fun.
Johnny4428:
I’m sure part of the problem is it is a strategic exercise to get all the tools in the bag. Not a lot of room spare, could easy over stretch that welded seam on the bag top.
Johnny4428:
Made an annoying discovery when I changed the oil and filter in the bike at the weekend, seems the threads in the drain hole in the sump have been compromised. Probably some one tightening and tightening trying to get it tight instead of replacing the sealing washer.😡😡 Picture of a tapered bung thing in its place!
Oddjob:
You need an oil pan Johnny? Fairly sure I've got a couple spare somewhere.
Can I suggest you fit a Stahlbus plug, you never need to remove it to drain the oil, so no chance of stripping the threads ever again. Plus, when you attach the drain pipe (no tools needed at all BTW) you can direct the oil away and into a container with no spills. Really great idea. Can't remember offhand what the thread size is but similar to this.
