One of my side reflectors started spinning on the thread so made a temporary repair with a stud till new ones came
I saw a set of Suzuki reflectors which had chrome(Plastic) rims and thought they could look nice.
the thread size was wrong so popped reflector out and replaced with correct size stud.
I know they are not Honda, but I think they look a nice bit of trim without really being noticeable

I was lucky enough as Dave had a set he bought in 2017 i think and didn't use them they were still boxed up
Just shows how forum members do help each other out.

Thanks to Dave Engine Bars - all Fitted
I took care to make sure the bolts did not touch the engine casing by filing 2 mm off both bolt and also nut so there is still a gap to casings
They will look better when out and about on pics
here is a few from in the garage

The ones I wanted are the smaller casing bars to protect gen cover etc.
Agree the larger loop bars are bigger than the bike.

DS are sending out a replacement no fuss or bother.
Well that will pass a bit of time on so may aswell put some rechromed bars on while I am messing again.

They do the job of protecting casings from minor damage. If you drop it at low speed.
Yes they can also cause damage to frame
Yes seen many sets used too long bolts and opps they get an oil leak. Just changed an engine on son's bike for same thing
It was just a thought and that's probably why you can't find any about.

Last few pics of finished bike.
Insured for 133.00 Adrian Flux - Bike Sure
Classic valuation to be agreed at 6k
Rides , runs and sounds like it should - just like the one i bought in 1978.
(Maybe some engine bars if i can find some would be another mod)
Other than that it play away for the rides out with sons on a Sunday while we continue restoring Keith Jnrs 2 x 400s and 750F1
