To all of us who have had a bad health year may we hope for a better 26

There have been several topics where health has been bad and some very serious things gone on, i have been there and everyone in that situation has my profound good wishes and best regards for the future.

Member 4 Sales / Honda genuine 5.5 fuel pipe
« on: November 17, 2025, 07:42:43 PM »
OK, i ordered from Japan a "bulk" roll of fuel pipe under Honda part number, unfortunately HMRC decided i needed to pay VAT and the usual post office charges.

This means cost to me is £10 per Meter so if any body wants some i will sell at cost PLUS whatever the post office charges to send it, i would guess minimum of large letter and possibly small parcel.

PM me what you want and i will work out cost

Member 4 Sales / VERY Tired CB 550
« on: November 17, 2025, 06:55:14 PM »
I have a nominaly N reg 550 that i have discovered is in a 500 frame.

This is in atrocious condition with a lacework tank, no seat or rear shocks and a 759 front caliper.
Has been stood many years and is nor pretty.

Cost is ZERO but needs collecting from Gloucester, pics are possible if you send me a PM

ONCE AGAIN THIS IS AN ABYSMALL BIKE

Member 4 Sales / Electronic ign like Dyna 750, 550, 500
« on: September 01, 2025, 02:02:17 PM »
With the help of a US contact i have aquired some, not many, of the cheaper version of the Dyna setup.

These are only for 750,550 & 500 the 400 CAN  have a different advancer that the adaptor doesnt fit on so no guarantee there.

I can sell these for £40 plus post if any body wants one, first come first served when gone there gone.

I prefer points but i know people out there like the idea of no mess servicing.

PM me if interested

CB500/550 / 500 big bore
« on: June 15, 2025, 02:25:10 AM »
I have just finished boring out a set of 500 barrells to take 550 +0.25 pistons and if anybody is interested in buying these, with piston kits, before i bolt them into one of my engines please get in touch.
In the next few weeks i will also have barrells at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mm oversize along with kits if anybody is interested.

I have been busy using my boring bar and sorting out piston kits purchased over time..

There is a possibility of a set bored to a rare set of Yoshimura pistons at 59mm which is the maximum a 500 liner can go to.

Keep it dirty side down

Tricks & Tips / Idiot and clock bulbs
« on: January 13, 2025, 02:03:02 PM »
Most bulbs you get today are wrong for these fittments as they can be 4watt and torpedo shaped glass a far better one with round glass and 12v 2.2watt is the Lucas LLB643  which i believe is originally for older Jaguars

Some of you have expressed condolances for the loss of my sister and to those thank you deeply, this is just the latest thing.
Late last year i had to give in to the shoulder arther and swop from driving to siting in security hut, substantial pay cut but still earning.
January 16th(my birthday) my brother in law died unexpectedly at the age of 88 having been married to my sister for 69 years.
Then my sister was hospitalised with heart valve problem and passed on April 24th(3 days after my weeding aniversary).

I feel for my two nephews and their 29 year old kids who were raised a lot by their gran, my sister, as they have lost doth dad(grandad) and mum(gran) within 3 months.
As the 71 yr old yougest of 5 with 2 now gone it feels like that cliff we all fall of is getting closer all the time.

My best to all on the forum and appologies for the grumps

CB500/550 / Gasket sets
« on: December 18, 2023, 11:48:03 AM »
Rebuilding a 500 for John he was sold a "complete" Athena gasket set.
Now not in the set are the oil pump to crankcase O rings, which Julie can supply but more important you dont get what i call the pontefract cakes(the US insist on calling them pucks), these are only available seperately from Honda and are now £5 EACH plus vat and post thus adding about £30 to the cost of the set.

This makes it, to me, worth shopping around and checking prices plus contents before purchase.
