Thanks for nice comments regarding vents - if you want to make some you need some ss mesh (think they use it for filters in model steam engines) a piece of tube same size as your hole and a piece of bar a couple of mill smaller than the tube id. Mesh over hole in tube, bar centred over hole and mesh - squash it in the vice.
I glued them in from behind with Araldite (two part epoxy to any non UK folks) but made sure they were 'potted' and the glue went into some indents I drilled so it all ends up being 'cast' in place.
I am trying hard to keep all my mods period in appearance

Hi Alan,
Just wondering - what shocks do you have on your bike? Are these from OORacing? Also is the air filter the one from OO's stage 1 tune up kit? What did you have to do in order to fit it? Where did you put the battery? Under the seat?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi thomas,
The shocks are not from OOracing. I ordered them online in a french store.
The filter I now have is a metal cornet but I used the OOracing stage 1 filter. There is nothing special to do to fit the filter. It's true that it pushs a bit against the frame but that is not a big issue. Still I cut the manifold part of the orginal air box to make a pipe extension. You can see it on the picture.
The battery is just behing the metal plate number, I just put it perpendicular to the frame (if you consider originally it is parrallel to the frame), so it makes more room.

Genuine Honda bushes for the rear hub:
Removing the original bushes required brutality, finesse, but most of all, luck!
The hub casting is, as these things are, thin and brittle.
First bush went in easily:
As did the rest:
I don't know if all 'Ace' cush drive bushes are crappy, or if mine were just from a bad batch, but the Honda items should last waaay longer.

yeah, get a bolt that will fit into the hose and screw it in tight so it dosnt suck air, then tuck it up under the tank. or if you want to get tricky you can solder/braze the fitting closed on the air intake manifold where the hose goes to
