    I really wanted the soft sided luggage he had with the bike, but he would not separate it out... so...

    Only had a Honda once, in high school, so this ought to be interesting. Carbs already rebuilt, just waiting on some new carb fuel pipes, and then go out and *romp* on it some :) hon6.jpg

    The cam problem was solved early on. Getting the carbs out for servicing on the other hand.....
    Be very thankful that job was already done.

    The carbs.. *OMG*... unfortunately I took them out for servicing. Prior to the Honda, the 'worst ever' award went to a 1980 KZ550 I had; the Honda is the new champ. Not looking forward to putting them back in :|

    they suck pretty hard. but if you google there are a couple methods that might work for you. at least better than just trying to wiggle them in.

    last set i did, the normal stuff didnt work and spent hours on it. got mad, got a 3in ratchet strap and force them in the boots that way. desperation for sure but it did work and it didnt brake anything
