I din't think I've evr seen one quite as bad as that. Meanwhile I'm still string to get the right bits for my little Beeza, at the same time have discovered a stripped thread in the Norton's primary chaincase so that's all in bits. The B'Zuki - so far - is still performing well.

Well, it's a good job that I took the decision to strip the RS engine I bought off fleabay. Don't think the damage to that piston will polish out do you. So my plan is to fully strip it all. Get all the cases sent for vapour blasting. Then get the engine fully rebuilt. With a shiny new piston. Professionally.
So. I hope the progress poo Leece are taking note of all this work 😁😉

Also the number plate. I did get it cheap tho 😁
Yes… I can see that Ian. Think you’ve been ripped off. It’s just full of yellow paint. 🙄
I’m thinking the REAL poo leeece men will be pulling you over with that bolted on 😏

Ahh… yes Ian I do have the bit between my teeth with this one. It’s great to be able to finally get back in the workshop and do some messing with bikes. Instead of being consumed by the house build. Yes. I know it’s a first world problem 😏
However. Things on the bike front definitely took a downward spiral yesterday, once I started stripping the engine down. I’m sure Bill will post up the pics in good time. Anyway onward and upward old chap.
Cheers Michael

Bike duly registered with age related plate ( first time of asking at the DVLA, but I did have to phone them up to ask what was a seemingly silly question,  however the gentleman I spoke to had all the time for me. Hats off to them!) Now done about 300 miles and climbing. I did swap the black 80mph GPS Speedo for the white 120mph GPS one.... don't ask!
Also the number plate has been discreetly trimmed down the LHS side since the pic was taken due to the suppliers machine not being able to produce an accurate symmetrical plate. I did get it cheap tho 😁

Bike Problems/Questions / Super dream front brake?
« Last post by Moto63 on June 11, 2025, 04:40:13 PM »
Afternoon all. Does anyone out there in TC land know if the Honda super dream front brake caliper is a direct swap/fit on to the cb250rs? Or if not the wet err sorry super dream caliper. Does anyone know of anything that is a direct swap/fit to the R/S?
Cheers, Michael

Good call Pete, the rebel is a cracking bike. The clutch on my 350 Classic is a little heavy so I get why you would prefer the lighter Honda clutch.

Rapid acquisitions! 2 posts, the first of a manky engine, the second after pressure washing.

Michael's notes follow:

"The engine I bought off fleabay arrived this morning, it was exactly as the seller had described,
pretty tatty looking but you could tell it wasn’t quite as bad as it looked under the grime. Here are 5
photos of the offending item. I think there’s two before and three after it had undergone a quick
degrease and wash. It’s already come up to a reasonable finish. I am just having trouble with the
bottom bolt in the front mounting bracket, seized solid it is.  :(

Once I’ve removed the troublesome bolt I’ll give it another good degrease and wash. I ultimately
want to strip it, check it all over internally, refresh it and have the casings re-coated. Sadly the
bloke I used to use is now retired. So if anyone knows of a very good/decent engine builder please
let me know👍🤞

Frame, swinging arm, wheels and a few bits and pieces are now at the blasters getting......eerr. Blasted 😁"
