After 10 years of BMW R1200 GS LC ownership I’ve gone in a different direction.

Member 4 Sales / BMW
« on: July 15, 2026, 12:16:20 PM »
Just sold my BMW R1200 GS LC and I have some bits to part with. I know that some members here have machines other than Classic Hondas, so I thought I’d give these fellow members first option. I have for sale:

1) Vario top box in good condition.

2) BMW R1200 tank bag very good condition

3) Garmin Navigator V Sat Nav with case, lead, instructions and sd card with latest maps.

Send me a pm if of interest.

Regards

Desperately Seeking!! / CB550 F2 1977 USA spec
« on: June 11, 2025, 08:16:10 PM »
Seeking a US spec right hand switchgear…the one with start/stop only. I’ve often lauded the benefits of USA spec bikes bought from the right area of the states due to the lack of corrosion. In this instance the internals appear to have de plasticised!!

I could source a replica from DS, but I’d prefer to match the patina of the original finish.

Please let me know if you can help.

CB500/550 / Shop manual
« on: May 31, 2025, 10:49:00 AM »
Attempting to download the shop manual for the CB 550 and I receive this message:

Headers already sent in /data/sites/web/gchnitb-hostingcom/sites/info.sohc.co.uk/wp-content/themes/Divi-child/functions.php on line 9

What am I doing wrong?

Desperately Seeking!! / Chronometric Speedometer
« on: January 19, 2025, 05:19:05 PM »
OK, completely off marque this one…..so apologies to all Honda owners, off which I am one!

Basically this is an appeal to our forum community for smiths Chronometric spare parts. I’m hoping some members have may some legacy Chronometric parts deemed to be uneconomically repairable. I’m attempting to salvage my old Speedo and tacho from a box of bits and any help would be greatly received.

The main problems at the moment are the trip meter drums which I can’t source from mainstream suppliers. There are other issues with the timing mechanism, counter weights and cams. I’m hoping to salvage a solution from whatever I can scrounge/harvest🫣

Cheers 🤞

Desperately Seeking!! / Number plate grommets.
« on: January 16, 2025, 12:53:33 PM »
I’m looking for the following grommets, part no’s:

31403323000 x 2

80101283000 x 4

I have the originals, but they are rock hard and perished in areas. New ones are available, but at a horrendous cost.

If anybody can provide old ones in good condition ( probably a forlorn hope) or new at a reasonable cost I’d be eternally grateful.

Recommended Sources for Parts and Services / 550,F2 side panel grommets
« on: November 14, 2024, 06:45:16 PM »
Does anybody know of a good source for side cover grommets. I bought some a couple of years ago and now they are as hard as marble. I dare not fit the panels as there is no appreciable  ‘yield’ and I’m concerned that the panel lugs may snap when I try to remove them.

Out & About / Leaving for a while

Probably my last visit for a long while. Best of luck with the forum and many thanks to all those who have helped me with my 550F2 restoration.

I’ve attached my plans for the forthcoming 6 months. If you feel you can support UNiCEF it would be gratefully received.

Best regards

Phil

Another 500 on eBay. Bit pricey for a nut and bolt restore though?

Walking round Verona stumbled upon these 2 examples. The 500 appeared to be a completely original example with just 11k kilometres on the clock.
