The curved one is to adjust the rear shocks.

That's a carb adjuster that is pretty common, even down to the screwdriver colours.
The curved one may also be for adjusting the headstock.

I have the carb tool, float gauge and the bent scredriver for vertical pilot screws but not easily gettable at at the moment, also the Honda "T" bar pozi(that isn't) screwdrivers

07908-4220100 i think or could be 07908-460-0200  which is the superceeded  one from the 500.

Both are still available according to Dave Silver but over £30

I just bought a Honda Common Tools manual off ebay if you wait till that arrives i will see what it tells us and if possible scan it to CD

Anyone got one of these ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-DIAGNOSTIC-SERVICE-TESTER-CLASSIC-/291046736324?nma=true&si=vcO8cD7qxsl3XXxkN4DqQEa7ClM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Wasn't there also something called a Souriai (or similar spelling) tester too?

That wouldn't look out of place in an early 70's recording studio!

Would have been an even nicer find, if I had found it before the auction ended  :(  . I have my own electronics company so no probs fixing it I reckon.

Oddjob,
You are a wealth of memories for me.Was it the same for you the snap on man appeared once a week and you could buy on the weekly from him?Christ seems like eons ago.I had to do it that way as a mechanics wage was shit.Good tools life long guarantee even if you had belted the crap out of a screwdriver.
Cheers

That is a lot of tools Oddjob. I have a three stack system with 15 draws and still have trouble closing it. Never bought from snip-on. Always used Britool. Mechanics only bought snip-on because they could pay weekly. A bit like the Avon lady ;D
