Hi all
I am a new Member from the Midlands GB and have been Riding Hondas all my life (I know I know!!) and have a few Honda Twins in the past a CB77 & G5.
The Superdream (Reg 1983 is a 81 Model really) was bought last year during the floods in February and am in the process of doing a major strip of the Engine (have nothing better to do really LOL) and having the Tank and Plastics re done. So hopefully all being well, shall have the bike back together by the Summer.

Hi there, welcome along. My first Jap bike was a G5 back in '78 & it's been mostly Hondas for me since then.

Hi All
Many thanks for all the 'Welcomes'.
I'm not quite sure how to post photos on this site as there doesn't seem to be an option on the 'Post Quick Reply'. I take it that I neeed to create a new thread?
Forgot to mention another Honda Twin NSR250, however, I'm getting a bit creaky to ride it LOL.

Hopefully getting the hang of this. Here are a few Pics of before and after.
The only reason I split the Crankcases was there was a Dowel missing between the Head and Barrels when I was only going to do a Head Overhaul!
Couldn't see it so took engine out and turned it upside down still no show. So the only way to be sure was to split the Crankcases and see if 1 of 3 options was going to avail itself: 1) there it is lying in some corner;
2) One chewed up Dowel from when someone else mistakeningly dropped it in and ran the Engine;
3) Nothing there Engine rebuilt and omitted. Yes you can guess which Option, all that work and someone had omited the blessed Dowel oh joy. So far have met quite a few issues that are wrong, one being putting the Clutch Retaining nut the wrong way round, a common problem I believe. Has anyone found similar issues with this as could create a New Thread with Pics if useful?
Anyway take care and stay safe all, hopefully we will be back riding soon and hopefully I will get this back on the road in time.
