You could potentially use what are called nurserts. The go in like rivets. You do need a special tool to install them.

Cool, I didn't know about these before.

Got an old Paragon kiln for free that I’m going to covert to a powder oven.

Six 16' x 50" cattle panels and ten 6' fence posts (to go with the five we had) for the wife's garden (green bean trellis) . Plus, installed it all for her. Motorcycle related, Tractor Supply had their Smart Strap cast aluminum frame ratchet straps on sale four for $29.99. These are the best straps I've ever used because the cast frames have not jammed on me.

Micron alloy billet forkbrace..supposedly for a Honda CB900 and it fits the Honda NSR125 35mm forks perfectly.

Nice, had one on my cb390 and would like to find one for the 550 !

Scoured fleabay for months, most are in the upper/close to £100....far too much for my budget, but scored this one for £57 which was acceptable given it's position on the bike and Micron name to match the expansion chamber exhaust.
My problem is the dimensions....most offer the braces for a specific model (not for a NSR125), so I had to ask (often no response at all!) or wait until someone took images of a ruler against it. This one turned up and fits like a glove....very happy with it.....just to get usedto the bulk...but a front guard should restore some balance. Cheers Colin

You're all horrible influences. I now own a second CB360. I bought one listed in the DTT Classifieds.

Tarozzi makes a 550 fork brace. As far as finding one to fit a bike they don't make them for, you can research measurements and possibly find a match. I managed to find a Tarozzi fork brace to fit a 1986 CR500 front end, even thought they don't actually make one specifically for the CR500.

More E-Bay sellers need to put measurements on parts.

Fast From The Past has a lot of Tarozzi fork braces, maybe they have what you could use.

So this is coming home. Getting delivered from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin - here by the weekend. I got it for a really good deal.

Thanks, they do list one.
i’ll search a bit more for the Micron first though.....

Looks like fun!

I know, i can't wait.

Damn, look at that colour. Is that stock? Gorgeous.

Great color. My Father in Law had one that had been repainted to look like one of the first 500s. I liked riding it better than the 500/750 versions.

No it is not stock. Not exactly sure what color it is- the original owner died and his estate is dealing with it. Unfortunately for me, knowing the color is actually somewhat important because it is missing a left side cover.

Here are my options: #1: paint both side covers black like the late model KH400 bikes had. #2: try and find someone to color match it. #3: paint them to match the green tank stripe (which is stock 1975 color).

I think the main color repaint is from a later 70's Kawasaki KZ

Rising Sun rims and spokes for the "I hate Honda 360s" CL360. Finish on the rims is nice if they lace/true decently I'll probably buy a set for my 71 CB750 that I have been piecing together.

#2 colour match, for sure

By the way, congrats on the BOTM win - I have a gift certificate here with your name on it. I'll pm you now

Honda, Pin, Step Bar Joint...real name for foot peg pin. Needed two for the "I hate Honda 360s" CL360 as the og pins were missing. I found 7 NOS from an EBay seller cheaper than buying one from other vendors. I'm sure I will use all 7 in the near future.
