A liitle knowledge needed please. I noticed a little movement in the front wheel and found sideways play on the spindle of about 5mm. I seem to have everything in place but wonder if the spacer is just too small. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks! I was guessing a disconnected wire - just cant find it! In the headlamp shell somewhere?

Im hoping that there are some brighter sparks than me on here (pun intended)!
Bike is a CB750 K6 UK model.
I've just fitted a new RH handlebar switch assembly. (All 7 wires fitted correctly I think!) With the key at the first position (ignition) all the warning lights are active. The headlight switch (H position) activates main headlight with high and low beam working but no tail light and no pilot/parking light. Brake light works. All LH switch funtions work.
In 'P' position on the RH bar switch I get no pilot light. When I move the key to the final position I get the pilot light and the tail light.
Any thoughts on what I have missed? Any advice appeciated!

This appears to be the correct collar and the correct way round!
Correct me if I'm wrong please!

Thanks Bryanj for the tip on a supplier. I had wrongly thought that I would ONLY get them at DS but after reading your advice, I tried my local Honda dealer (Fowlers, Bristol) and lo, they had them in stock, same price as DS and free postage! So, still extremely expensive for what they are but a good result nontheless!
Bits arrive tomorrow so back to fitting the pipes now!
All good things

I'm also happy to offer these collets to anyone who might be able to use them!

Thanks folks... all advice happily recieved. I'll definitely try my local honda people as well.
Ive included a pic of the ones I was given but they are definitely too shallow! Oh yes, I do have new copper rings but thanks for checking.

I totally agree that Spanner Rash's advice was spot on and similary, I got through the registration process without a glitch....MOT exempt and Historic Class. Took two months though!
I got nice pressed aluminium plates from a place in Gloucester called Chase Lane Plates. Good price.

A long shot I imagine but on fitting a new set of 4:4 repro pipes I have found that I need the eight split collets that fit at the top of the pipes at the manifold.
I had some which I was given together with the collars however they are way too shallow - so obviosly not the right ones!
Does anyone have some spare or know of a place to get them? I have seen them on Silvers website but they are pretty expensive when you need eight!
Maybe there is an alternative that would fit this exhaust that someone might be aware of?
Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

Can anyone help? I'm in need of brackets or muffler stays as they say in America to attach a repro set of 4 into 4 pipes to my project K7.
I have the header clamps so I think thats all i need.
Any help or advice would be great or if anyone knows someone who can make them?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip which sound like a solution. The cables came from David Silver!
All best

Greetings all. I have installed new throttle cables on my 750 K7 but I find that when the securing nuts on the guide pipes at the handlebar end are fully tightened, the rearmost one (has a little flange on the inner part) still has some slack in it meaning that the guide pipe can wiggle around. I have been reluctant to apply much force as the alloy of the swithc housing is notoriously weak. Am I missing something? If anyone can enlighten me that would be great.
Thanks
Alex
