Honda-SOHC

No Problem Bryanj

I just thought that even if the assembly was not exactly the same the internal  might be , big companies like Honda will also try and use existing designs instead of re inventing new parts every time to keep design and production costs down.

I did have slot of issues with my switches when I rebuilt my bike but managed to re fettle everything and now it’s working well.
These switches when exposed to the elements over long periods of time just disintegrate into a pile of rust, I actually totally retired my bike because every time I fixed one thing something else went wrong so I decided to rebuild the whole wiring loom.
During this adventure I found lots of corrosion throughout the loom with lots of wire nearly corroded through so well work doing, sorry waffling on too much.

Hi Neil

Just seen this on eBay if you’re interested.

Where did you get the exhaust from looks quite nice, is it single wall thickness on the down pipes, I have heard that some of the replicas because of the reduced wall thickness they can discolour when heated up .
This is not a bad thing infect I like the look of the different colour bands , reminds me of when I started my apprenticeship where we heat treated chisels and punches a few years ago now .

I not struck on the look and being so in original would make it harder to sell on and as we all know you don’t make any money on old bikes at the moment it’s just the pleasure in doing the work.
Original parts are hard to come by now and when you do find them crazy prices !

That sounds like a fair price because it looks good in the photos, My bike was originally candy red but I fancy the yellow so it’s been re sprayed.

On my last CB400 I had it sprayed Candy and it did look amazing but as I remember the paint was really expensive but worth it for the finished product.

Let me know how you get on , looking at the price it must be fairly good stuff but time will tell.

The fact that it is on a sealed can you probably have to use it fairly quickly before it goes off as it looks like a solvent type dip.

Just an observation but if you bought a standard grommet for a thick wall bulkhead and cut it down the middle would that give you a useable alternative ? Please see photo attached.
The are literally hundreds of different sizes on the internet I am sure one of these could be modified to get what you need.

Ok thanks for the info Dave, hopefully some one has some already if not I’ll buy some.
