SOHC Singles & Twins / Re: Unidentified forks
« on: January 14, 2026, 11:31:24 PM »
I think they may be early (pre -1966) CB72/77 ...If you look at the top yoke centre hole it's quite large large to fit the top nut as pictured.

UPDATE !  If you look on the first pic the stanchion on the left has CB72 written on it marker pen !

I think my mate Graham Curtis uses Derby Platers for zinc. Minimum order there though I think.

It's a great idea Steve. They have done it on a vintage radio & electronics forum I have been on for years and it seems to work really well.
Also an opportunity to meet other members.

Interesting that the 1968 CB750 prototype that is up for auction at Mecum this month had a Morse / Hyvo primary chain drive....description not entirely correct as the CB750 SOHC Automatic had a Morse / Hyvo primary drive.

Misc / Open / Re: I never knew about the Suzuki RE 5 until today!
« on: December 19, 2025, 08:41:26 AM »
Don't know how true this is but my mate is a pretty straightforward no BS chap. In the late 70's he used to have Suzuki's delivered in the crates to his home workshop by Heron Suzuki to assemble for a dealer friend. The delivery guy dropped the crated bikes off for assembly  but said he had a couple of crated RE5's on board that he was instructed to take for disposal. He said to my mate if he wanted to bung him a couple of hundred quid (can't remember the exact figure) he could take one no questions asked. My mate never took him up on it but kind of regretted it afterwards.

I remember a chap at work (not somebody I really knew well ... just saw him in the car park where I parked my 400/4) .... buying an RE5 and it quickly developed serious problems so he was loaned a GT750 Kettle, whilst it was away being fixed. Never saw that RE5 again and the guy always turned up on a GT750 so I guess he never got the RE5 back again, and did a deal on the GT750
