    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My wife bought me a HONDA!

Nice bike, keep it. Keep the fairing too, it suits the bike beautifully.

Does it have the usual Honda clutch rattles?

I always wanted to ask, do the Honda CB's come with traditional Mikuni CV type carbs? Those carbs look soo odd with that giant air tower on top of the carb.... are they just a Mukuni/Honda design ?

Those are Keihin CV type carbs. Keihin is part of Honda's keiretsu (family/partnership companies) going way back. As far as I know, Keihin has been making CV carbs since the 1960 which predates Minuni's involvement with the breed.
 
Think the snapped bolts from the exhaust happened, didnt someone say you have to pull the engine to get the head off?
 
should only cost $100 or so to have a machine shop fix those broken studs.
 
If the wife bought it for you, keep it.
If you sell it, you'll be hearing about for the next 20 years. :D
 
I concur!
Anyway, I would just keep it. Another fun bike around to enjoy. ;)
