Repair to front fork sliders

I have just repaired 3 pairs of fork sliders that had a long bolt screwed into the top mudguard (fender) mount. I used a hydraulic bench rated at 450 kg to pull the tube straight out of the slider. There was no rust inside the slider and the small dent from the long bolt wasn't too deep. A straight ...

For a few years, I have made various badges for 1960's Hondas, all follow the same rules. The original Honda badges for all models (CB72 CB92 etc) use a clear badge with a gold type laquer then a 'chrome' plating. The whole lot is painted black on the back to protect the plating as well as give a bl...

I've got 2 CB92's and a few CB72 / 77's which I've had for 20 - 30 years. The prices of CB92's vary, but none are "cheap". It sounds like the bike you've found should be the best value - beware a lot of parts are unobtainable, don't even come up on ebay. Have you tried Ray Davies website ? http://ww...

Re: Grinding Sound when decelerating

My best guess is that the kick shaft is warn at the 21 tooth counter shaft where the 12 small roller bearings are. If the shaft is warn all the gears on it will not align correctly to the gears on the main shaft. ........................... This is a very common fault on all bikes with the same tra...

Re: Seized Motor CB77

A suggestion, if I may,( after letting the fuel oil soak in for a while) sometimes you ca put the transmission in gear (like 2nd or 3rd), and rock the bike back and forth to break it loose. If that doesn't work, I have pulled the clutch lever in (while the trans is still in gear) , pushed the bike ...

Hi Kevin, If these are like those on the CB72 they allow air to bleed into the inlet valve guides through small holes. This reduces the amount of engine oil being sucked between the valve and inlet guides through the inlet ports and into your combustion chambers. There should be small holes in the h...
