Found them 'cos I am a 'saddo' who should get a life rather than fretting over CB750K0 parts. It's a disease called 'roundedrimducktailrecessedignitionblackkillswitchNo8boltHM300pipeitis'. A recent article in the Lancet described it as has having no known cure!

Seriously though .. I got it from a tip of from Kerry (KP) who is a sandcast guru.
I keep trying to get David Silver to stock those seats/foams/skins (seat covers to you and me ::) ) (they say epidermis in their translated description) either from them or Yamiya but he says he can't because of the Honda logo and his now settled legal case with Honda. Don't know how the foam could be described as having a logo but there you go. I know he is looking at a bike himself with a 'soggy bottom' seat so perhaps he may be persuaded to change his mind :-X

Cheers .. Ash

Will tell you next week James :-X Hope so 'cos I want to visit his museum and see one in the flesh and possibly meet up there with some of you guys and also have a look at the 'Man Lab' CB250SS (K0) he has.

BTW I know a lovely B&B in an ancient old cottage in Suffolk not too far from him, owned by an ex classic CB350 racer and his wife. Funny story. Bought a 'frame' from him and picked it up during my holiday. When I got there it was actually a complete rolling chassis, so I was up next morning with a few tools he let me borrow at 4.00 am in the morning stripping it down so that it would fit in my hatchback. Have an understanding missus and all that !

Post by: K2-K6 on July 26, 2014, 08:30:03 PM: Ash, sorry to here you've been diagnosed with such a serious condition.

I understand also that there is no known cure as yet but the conditon may be eased by dropping in to the Dog&Ducktail for a couple of pints of Castrol R.
