soak in hot soapy water with a little washing up liquid on the bar, once dry they dont move.
Try our re-instated info resource - "Aladdin's Cave" (Main menu)

I would be curious as to what your insurence company say`s as this may come under a `stolen bike`???
When working in the power tool industry, we had a few firms go `bust` on us, as as long as we could prove the goods were not paid for (by invoice and serial No) we would get the tools back as they were still our property until paid, I am sure this would be the same? (with your invoice and log book) 3

Have you tried dk motorcycle spares... also know as two wheel spares. I have brought a few things from them in the past via ebay, maybe worth contacting them https://twowheelspares.co.uk/

Sorry Brian, I got it with my CB750 F1, but its too big... I think its maybe a CB750 F2?? The foam for seat is for a CB500. The metal part was trash, but got another complete so dont need the foam.
Many thanks 10

please let me know if anyone is interested. can post pics of seat foam if needed. 11

Thanks for sharing Ken, this shows what can be done with a little time and effort where some might just change for new. Well done!

CB500/550 / Re: Is it the starter motor?« on: July 30, 2026, 11:15:19 AM »
Well, after getting the starter out, have found that the bearing has gone oval and allowed the armature to rub on the stator.... I have checked for coninuity from the comutator and the main shaft and also the the laminations and I have continuity, so from here I would say its toast :-( found a couple of second hand ones on ebay, next stop order one.
Thank you all again for your input :-) 15
