+1 on OEM for the fork seals. Thanks for the intel on the replacement fork tubes jeffrozar. If I could ask, have you purchased a set from...
Perhaps you could source a used collector box in better condition? I've seen these come up on eBay (here in the States) in decent shape for a...

Agreed. If the tops of the valve stems are mushroomed it is time to taxi into the hanger bay for a rebuild or a used engine that is in better...
Thanks for the post. Interesting to note that on your bike the tensioner's rod was fine but the springs had failed. I hadn't read of this...
DB, an interesting site - this may be of interest to you. Good luck with your project and keep us posted. Honda 750 Frames
5x5, I should have read more carefully as you did write 'for reference'. Good luck with this and let us know how you make out.
From the video it looks like you own a well maintained '85. Kudos! As noted set the valve lash (using two feeler gauges) and resynchronize the...
