Congratulations Fozzie on your new job.

This company isnt far from you Motorbike suspension, Motorcycle Suspension | MCT suspension | Stowmarket My brother had his ducati shock rebuilt to his requirments ( cant remember if it was showa or Ohlins) by this company and said it was a terrific job.

Are you sure there is not a cover over an allan bolt head holding the bar end weight on. A picture may help to suss it out.

As far as I know you need a full driving licence to ride or drive abroad.

To me the title of the book is The Bumper Book Of Motorcycles, So start searching from there. Good luck.

If its still the genuine honda light you should just take the screw out on the bottom of the chrome outer rim then lift of the cover complete with the lens. On the back you should be able to gently rotate the bulb holder and take the bulb out. The bulb is then rotated in the holder to get the bulb out. It could be that you dont have a genuine honda light and it had been replaced at some time so it could be slightly different. Take it gently do not force things and when the bulb comes out make sure you install the bulb the same way. The bulb may have offset pins so must go back in the same way.

Been there done that and eaten some. Top tip never strim with your mouth open even slightly

Congratulations enjoy your new found freedom that bikes bring you.

So its a KE100 B between 82 and 86 but to get a more accurate date and model give your local kawasaki dealer a ring and ask them to run the frame number through the computer. Looking at the various models it doesnt look like it changed much in the 4 years so parts hopefully will be common to all.

Hi there have you got any more info like the chassis number and a picture of the bike. This site may help identifying parts Kawasaki KE100 parts: order genuine spare parts online at CMSNL

If you have no luck getting hold of the company and hopefully you paid via a credit card, then you can make a section 75 claim on your credit card as they are jointly liable if the product is faulty or not of reasonable quality or fit for purpose.

Hi there you could try this company they have been supplying automotive paint for years. RS Motorbike Paint Colors - Motorcycle paint, bike paint, Kawasaki Honda Yamaha (rsbikepaint.com)

Hi there have a look in your area for motorcycle clubs or perhaps go into a local bike shop and ask if they know of clubs or groups that could help you. Have a look on the internet if there are any bikers cafe in your area, evenings and weekends there will be loads of bikers travelling to these places. perhaps you could speak to the owner of the cafe who could put you in touch with someone. Failing that why not try talking to your local Police traffic officers as most of them are bikers and will know of groups probably able to help. Good luck hope you get it arranged for him it must have been a tough few years for both of you.

Is this any good on Partzilla?? I know its in usa but hopefully shipping aint to bad. Partzilla Part Search

Have you tried David Silver? and how about giving these people a ring Powerhouse • Powerhouse Automotive

If everything was put back together properly and tightened up it could be a buckled wheel caused by a Guerilla changing the tire or wheel bearings failing.

That is a Honda CB550k3 if im not mistaken

A bit more info would help ie year, mileage was it running ok the last time it was used. Check basics first as Nick said has it got petrol has it a fuel tap and is it turned on. Is the kill swith turned off. Is the side stand down so it wouldnt start unless the clutch lever is in. How old is the battery and is it fully charged. Is the spark plug in a decent condition and you have a decent spark. Are the battery connections tight.

Well done Fozzie the only way is up.

Hi Billy welcome to the forum, thats a nice selection of bikes you have there.

Hi there I wonder if one of the fork tubes had been replaced before. Have a look at this parts diagram and it looks like the tubes carry the same part number. Honda CG125 1996 (T) ENGLAND FRONT FORK - buy FRONT FORK spares online (cmsnl.com) . Have a look on webmoto website too and compare their listing.

Sounds like carb set up wrong and running to rich, could be blocked crap airfilter or wrong/worn jets. Could be the needle jet is worn out letting to much fuel through. As the carb is over 40 years old its time to strip the carb down and check all the parts to see if the parts are worn out and if needed a new service kit.

Have a look at this website JustPark - The Parking App | Find parking in seconds i used this when I went to the TT last time and we were meeting up with others and I needed to park my car somewhere safe for a week. Each time I did it I picked a private house with off street parking Knowing the car was safe. Worth a look.

You could give this firm a ring they import a hell of a lot of complete bikes and spares. Two Wheel Spares (DK Motorcyles) - DK Used Spares

Ive seen loads on bikes over the years mostly to do with Model or engine size in the numbers or letters. Personally not my sort of thing I dont see the point.
