My black CA's footpeg brackets and centerstand are black. The sidestand is silver.

I made up a frame of landscape timbers to support and hold the top crankcase and cylinders and tried once again to free the pistons with a 4 lb. sledge hammer and blocks of wood. No movement at all of the pistons or crankshaft. I'm just splintering wood. I'm thinking a piece of pipe might be requir...

I finished the disassembly yesterday, having decided to strip the bike completely and remove the bare frame from the engine. It all worked very well to that point. My luck soon ended. I have a motor stand that I was able to attach and I lifted the motor with stand to a Workmate so that I could dism...

You will most likely be pretty close with 1.5 turns out, but the optimum setting will change with fuel type/octane/seasonal blend, air temperature, etc. If you notice the idle is lower than usual, that can mean it's time to make a slight adjustment to get it back to the optimum setting. As temps dro...

After the engine is fully warm, adjust the idle mixture screw to achieve the highest idle speed, then go richer ("in" if the screw is an air-bleed, "out" if it's a fuel-bleed) until you hear the RPMs just start to drop. The idle mixture adjustment on the CA's car...

I believe there was a time that Honda used JIS screws with a now non-standard thread pitch, so depending on the year an original 6mm JIS screw may not match a current M6's pitch.

Anyone know anything about that?

Have you considered powder coating it? A good custom coater can blast and prep it for you, and the finish is significantly more durable than even the best epoxy primer and urethane topcoats. Because of the increasingly high cost of wet paint materials, the overall cost to have the frame prepped and ...
