The Honda Owners Club

Here's an up-date ,

the cracking was in fact corrosion and is shown below along with my repair .It was disconcerting to find out that what I thought was just a strengthening plate is in fact the main Swingarm cross rail connecting left and right arm tubes!! I am so glad I repaired it .Bump steer
is bad enough on 4 wheels -- could be disastrous on 2!

Does anyone know where I can buy another set of these early (benly ?) Honda wing decals I fitted them to the side panels of the 250 and would like to use a similar layout on the 400.they are quite small about 40mm long and are not to be confused with the later,larger wing tank decals. I originally sourced them on Ebay and thought they were just churned out,but apparantly not. Someone rebuilding an early Honda will be cursing me no doubt!.

Have a word with 'Skipper'

Does Skipper have access to decals?

I have found the original supplier of my decals on Ebay so I can get some for the 400

I like this early Honda Wing design but I cannot find the CB250N or CB400N logo anywhere
In the mean time I have experimented with printiing my own version on vinyl using available windows fonts and then sticking an extra clear layer on top (it might do until I locate some proper logos.

Try Sunrise Graphics:

He does CB250/400N sidepanel decals like you want.
He's recommended, a VJMC member too, and is often at 'Classic' bike shows.

Thanks,
I,ll check this out.

Well,
Ive about finished the 400 and she's booked in for an MOT tomorrow so in case I fall off on the way down ,here's a picture for posterity

Looking good.

With all that yellow, you'll have to call it something like the "Flying Banana" or the "Custard Express" !

Looks OK though!

I like it !
Or maybe "Colman´s Mustard Express".


Looks good though, Wilt ! Don´t fall off - or people will say you slipped on the banana.

I must(ard)mit I quite like the colour and it looks well done

You probably won't be able to spot it in a field at a race meeting .... it will be black !! ...covered in fruit flies

He He ,that made me giggle,

Now to more serious matters the Wasp failed its MOT One item highlighted was play in the rear wheel bearings ,but as they were Brand New ,I think the bearing seats are slack on the outers anyone else had this and what was your cure?
