Yeah thanks man... Was just unsure of the orientation in which the plate bolted onto the knuckle at . Thanks

Awesome! Thanks for that @_Wilson_™. That's just what I needed, perfect. (Thanks @shadetree for the pics lol)

Hi all wondering if one of you guys could help me here... I'm re-assembling the the front brakes and not sure which way around things go? The manual says assemble with the cut out at the bottom. But I can't see any sort of "cut out" on my backing plate. Also, where does that U section that sticks out the back go? Towards the front or the back? Thanks

Been checking the tracking every day lol. Looks like it's just about to leave you guys and head off over the pond 🙂

Thanks man, appreciate your words there! Yes, I'm so glad I split the cases and did it properly! It won't always be a worry at the back of my mind now lol, it did clean up pretty good as well yes. Thanks for that advice there, I'll make sure I double check and triple check the timing when I get to that 🙂 Pip

Can't thank you enough seriously... lol

Man you are incredibly generous! Can't thank you enough for this. I've sent you a pm back 🙂

Hi all.. So the place I was gonna get the replacement centrifugal clutch one way bearing from has said it's now not possible to just provide me with the bearing. They offered me the whole clutch but for a price of just under £150 ($190) and I don't really have that money to spend on it:( . I'm sure shipping from the States won't even be that much lol. I'm wondering if anyone on here would be able to help me? I know shade offered to help me out which is amazing!... not sure if that's still available @shadetree? (No problem if not:) ) If anybody has a good working centrifugal clutch bearing could you give me a pm on here? Thanks ever so much! Pip

Thanks man I might give that a go. Thanks for the suggestion. Have you done this yourself?

Hi all. Wondering if anyone knows if these would would work for 350D front brake drums? Need something to plug up the holes and this is all I can find. Tia

Yeah I wasn't going to replace mine anyway lol... seems a waste of money unless they came with everything else lol

Ahh okay I get you. Makes sense

Ahhh right yes I know what they are. Yes I've removed and installed them plenty before. Why would they need to be replaced?? Is replacing the the valve seals an easy job?

Well I've just ordered a set of shindy valves. Be awhile till they get here but still got other bits to be on with. How hard is it to do seals and retainers? Are the retainers the valve guides?

Righto, thanks. I'll check that when I'm home after the weekend:)

The ex valves that I've got look LOADS better than the in ones. But replacing all 4 is probably best right? Especially since 4 new shindy valves from the states are only £10 more than two new Honda in valves are.

Yes I lapped it a little but not much at all, was just to get the muck of really and have a look. Also thought it would be silly to lap it with that old pitted out valve... The head should clean up after a good lapping though right? How would I check the amount of play between the valve stem and guide? Just see if I can feel sideways movement?

Okay new valves it is then 😞 . Any recommendations on what brand to go with? I saw some shindy ones (all 4 valves) on eBay, however I'm not sure if they ship to the UK yet (they're on the other side of the pond) Thanks for the help and knowledge 🙂

One part is definitely a lot worse than the other parts. It's got pitting all the around, just some bits worse than others....

Yeah I thought it looked bad as well... Here's some more pics (pics of the head are after I've lapped it)

Update: Just took out one of the intake valves from the head and cleaned it up, haven't lapped it yet... and to be honest it doesn't look the best. There is quite a bit of pitting around the edge. Not sure if it would improve a little after being lapped? Would be great to here your thoughts. Thanks

Seal came off easier than I thought lol

Ahh okay I get you... Makes sense as I doubt people riding in deep mud/water care much about the brakes anyway lol. However, I'll be using this to pull small logs out the woods and pulling a small trailer round for livestock and fencing... so brakes would be handy lol. Don't wanna end up in the ditch after the trailer pushes me down a hill lol. Thanks buddy

Thanks man I'll check em out. Was definitely gonna pack some more grease in them .... maybe I'll take them out and clean them properly now though lol . Thanks

Brake drum, backing plate and right side knuckle (still got the left side to do) all cleaned up and painted nicely. Here's some shiny pics for you boys lol
