G,
I believe I can swap you a left for the right.

I'm OK with the ones I got. The text at the bottom was a little thin but, as you say, better than not having any, and so much nicer than those dreadful replacements that Honda made.
Still looking for someone to swap me a left for one of my two original rights......

Sounds good.
I'll get some better photos when I'm back home in a week or so.

I was hoping to get some progress made on the project this week but got sidetracked by a new larger garden plot and this lovely old project - a 1968 Wheel Horse Commando garden tractor.
I'll get back to Hondas later this week....

It's a 305cc Kohler engine so it almost qualifies for the '305' Forum..... :-)

Travel, work and good gardening weather have kept me out of the workshop for a few weeks and I really need to get back to my project. I had a few minutes in the workshop this week to check pout what the next job was on the engine.
I have stripped down the right hand cover and cleaned up all of the kickstart parts. Surprisingly, there is no damage to the cover or the kickstart bush, but I will make a new bush to give it a better chance of survival in the future.
The cylinder head still needs a bit of work. The joint face has been a bit beaten up over the years and one chamber has some corrosion damage.
Also it has had some new valve seats pressed in and I need to re-cut the seats and blend them in to the ports a little.
I have some reamers to clean up the rocker shaft bores. These often get burred if the shafts have been punched out.
Hoping for a bit of workshop time this weekend in between my garden resoration duties.... :-)

A 305CC thumper? It qualifies!
Things look to be moving along, Graham!
On my home front, I haven't touched the Old Girl. Life has been so demanding as of late! She sits in my garage under a cover, safe and sound. I ran her up just yesterday, and she pleasantly "tump-tump-tumps" merrily away!
