Yes, they are. Seems to be cheaper to go with the metric to AN fittings and Russell DOT hoses. I'm spending half of what it costs for Galfer or Venhill. I don't think Galfer even does anything but banjo hoses. And Venhill does the same as the Russell hoses with an AN fitting to a banjo. I'd be interested in someone who does a line with a metric fitting to have the line be one piece. I haven't found one yet.teazer said:IRK:
Are those 10mm to AN adapters in the caliper and M/C? You can also get hoses made up with metric straight end fittings.

Jimbonaut said:Remembered that it was recommended to check clearances on the CB900 cams I'll be using. I bought a valve spring compressor tool off amazon for $35 (and saved having to ask my long-suffering mate if I could borrow his tools again) which had one job to do and did it perfectly. Out came the valves, dropped in the 900 cams and they fit just fine - no clearance issues. Apparently these cast heads can have slight size differences in some areas and it's a good idea to check even though 900 cams are a straight swap -
Looks like no drama in that dept so got the valves back in (with some more assembly lube) - hoping to get my newly-bored cylinder block back from the machine shop soon and this lump's gonna get painted. In the meantime - Ottawa for mother-in-law's day.
I dropped the cams in to check the clearances on the head itself, not the valve shims - that'll come later.cb250nproject said:That’s very lucky that all the valve clearances were spot on what were they at ? I had a lot of issues getting the clearances within tolerance when I changed my cams over.

Ha! Yeah mate, have all of those things (minus the heap of shims but I have a go-to for that). Don't have a stress ball but do have the wife's cat, poor fucker.cb250nproject said:Ahhh I c, you’ll need, a pad & pencil, shim bucket tool,heaps of shims, booze and a stress ball

That's it, that's all.
He’s a lucky guy. Just the audio sounds incredible - being there must’ve been something he’ll never forget.irk miller said:Our good friend Kanticoy was at that show. He's a B'ham (Moody) local.
