Usual 750 problem if leaking around the plug area. I usually seat mine in with ThreeBond (HondaBond). Glad to hear your back on the road and all is sweet.

Hi coppertop, those two bikes are a credit. Seeing them done to the standard you've done almost temps me into not taking a grinder to mine.

Well I do like the mags I have but fancied going back to original spokes.
Fortunately for me Keith Jnr had a full set he wasn't planning on using for now,so he can have mags when I have refurbished the spoked wheels.
Started the strip on the front wheel,thought I may as well go the whole hog.
Cut out all the spokes,cleaned up the rim,which wasn't too bad, mainly surface rust and pitting.
Took the rim for re chroming today £75.00 + Vat (Expected back late March early April - bummer) Prestige plating at Mexborough, South Yorks. Never mind plenty to be going on with.
Removed all the old bearings from hub and started cleanup/Polish.There must be a nack to removing the bearings,I just destroyed one to allow me to drift the other one out - it worked for me.
I am thinking of using Zinc plated spokes with stainless ferrels. Any views?
Are the spokes for the K series the same as the ones for the F1?
Seat now has Honda on the rear, I could not find a decent/correct shade of gold they all were more coppery, who would have thought that a simple colour could be a headache -So I went for Silver,looks well enough and like originals were. template worked fine next to no bleeding. "It is straight its the angle of my dangle when taking pics"
I managed to find the Plastic Inspection cover for the rear disc from the states off a goldwing, fitted straight on another little job completed.
As you can see took bike out yesterday still some cleaning to do
New Bits & Bobs to fit
Cheers
Keith Snr
