Bumping this thread. Did you end up sorting this out? Just found out I'm having the same problem :-\

Awesome, thanks teazer. I just re read your previous comment and realized i missed the bit about the bolt being loctited in, my bad! Ill have to go buy some sealant after work today. Cheers

Hey Teazer I have just replaced the seals on my front forks, I'm just starting to reassemble them now. In my shop manual is stays to put liquid sealant on to the hex bolt (bolt 23 in the above schematic), is this required and if so what should i use? or can i get away without it. I was thinking...

Sweet, I'm looking at them now. Any chance you could tell me the measurements/sizes you got? or if there is a product code or something? Thanks man!

I'm on board! Hopefully it warms up a bit for you. Where did you get the brass bushes from? I'm looking to buy a set for my cb200.

Good luck with it mate, she looks pretty weathered! About the same as mine when i got it, maybe mine had a little less rust though haha Have a look at David silver spares in the UK, they have a complete gasket kit for 19 pound. About $28, or close to that. I'm not sure about the postage, you...

I think I'm probably up there with the slackest posters ever on DDT haha Anyways some small updates. I've painted my wheels satin black using calliper paint on them. I let them dry in the sun for about 3 weeks, so the paint is now getting nice and hard. I cleaned, removed the rust with vinegar...

Re: Salzburg '73 CB350 - Update: engine rebuilt & mounted in frame You are quite the polishing master Salzburg! wish i had the patience and time to get those results :P

Love the orange tank, I'm seriously considering painting mine a metallic orange. this is going to be such a cool looking bike. How did you go with the zero gravity battery?

Such a great build keep it up guys, your sons a lucky boy! Colours look great, are you still planning on stripping it and re-painting?

cb200 back to the cafe "lola" Looks great mate! Engine looks mint, did you use satin black?

Id love to see this question answered. I have a lot of the same questions myself and this seems as if it could be a good resource for people searching the forum with painting questions. Please point out if i have missed it, but i think a thread about painting with a gun and compressor to...

I say dont get rid of the comments, these two had me in stitches! hahah

Cool thanks Sonreir, that cover looks great! Im a noob when it comes to polishing, never done any. The kit i got came with the black and white compounds with a corse wheel (sisal wheel?) and a soft cotton kind of wheel so thats what i used. I might get some Brown compound if you recomend me too...

Nar i didnt got to town with the wire wheel, i just cleaned all the grub off with it. It did leave a few marks which i noticed afterwoods and regreted a fair bit lol. But i sanded majority or them out. The marks left you can see on the left had side of the picture in the sort of sweeping motion...

Forgot to add this. I found a small chip in the front hub (see picture). Is this a problem? Also some gross looking bearings!

Good luck with your build Desmobro! All good deepwater I messaged you. So after the engine debacle I've been working on cleaning and polishing the hubs and front forks, I will be polishing the engine side covers next. I brought a polishing kit from Bunnings warehouse. I stated out wire wheeling...

Just realise its been ages since I updated this thread! I have been busy though. As did I bert, oh well. I didn't so much forget as didn't know it existed, the oil plug was seized in really well so I never removed it. The plan was to split the cases then work on it or drill it out. I got it out...

It's coming along nicely mate! That last bike you did looks the business as well. Good stuff
