    Its brand new and done 100km. I did that and I got Mega to do it as well. ... at one point I had 85psI in it which is all my compressor can do.

    Clearly you need a bigger tube of K-Y Jelly.

    Dam that seat looks comfortable - clearly not Italian!

    Looking good, what's it running on the exhaust and aftermarket 4-1? I'm trying to remember the NZ brand back when I was a young chap - Sagar (or similar) springs to mind.

    If it isn't out properly at that pressure it probably wont ever be, check the fitting line that is down by the rim edge to see if it is even the whole way around

    85psi on an inner tube is a bit scary. Hopefully you bought a decent brand and not cheap junk.

    How big is the tyre and what size rim? Probably 1.85. Written (stamped) on it.

    We spent waay too much time in the 90s trying to bead 85 section slicks onto 1.6" RG50 front rims. Down, up, lube, debead, move tyre, reposition inner tube valve reinforced section, down, up, repeat.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Seat's not bad - the foam is 40 + years old so its a bit crumbly. I've got an aftermarket complete seat base which I am going to get re-covered.

    There are no makers marks on the pipe at all I can see. It is quiet as though so has some baffles. There is a MAC 4-1 on tardme which has been for sale for a year at $450. I might pick it up at some point.

    Priority is that fucking front wheel and a front guard, then some clocks and fork ears. Malcolm from econohonda has a set of blue face clocks with the patina I want on tardme but they are mph, and he wants two fiddy for them. TWO FIDDY!

    HDC you mentioned a bead lock does it actually have one on the front wheel as that was rare for road bikes?

    Also what Kick is saying what does the tyre look like down by the rim edge? Sometimes the tube can be stuck under the bead and push the tyre out a bit at that point.
    Cheers

    I do my own tube tyres these days as the apprentices tend to put the tube in straight out of the packet whereas I put some air in to avoid pinching and overlapping which can cause rubbing and flats.

    let the tyre down, massage it with your hands and reinflate. Sometimes they stick at a point and don't pop onto the flange.

    Guages...$250 MPH..pay the man or spend hours on Ebay, out of interest does your trip button go out the side or the back?
    My Ducati has ND guages and missing a trip knob.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    If you are just missing the gauges look at other Hondas of the same era as they were pretty similar unless you are going for concurs points at a rivet counting comp WGAF.
    I might even have some old CB350 ones here. think CB350 CB350F CB500 CB550 CB400F CB200.

    here is one similar to the later 750's https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/mot...aa1e2a9db13c26

    Not sure what year yours is but if looking for a exhaust system check out Delkevic first - they do complete systems pretty cheap for the older Japanese bikes.
