Hi all

I'm Nidgy from Brum. I have a CB250n 1979 (with kickstart) that I'm doing up for the wife. I bought it running (albeit in a cloud of smoke), and currently have the engine out on the bench. I'll probably rebuild from the crank up, but could do with any info about what's usually done with this, and key suppliers, engineers etc. Thanks in anticipation of your help and support. Btw I've restored other bikes and hope to contribute where i can

merry xmas

Hi Nidgy, welcome along & good luck with the engine rebuild. David Silvers is the main source of original parts, along with CMSNL.com. Biggest problem is likely to be poor availability of some parts although it's surprising what can be hunted down with a bit of patience. I'd try & stick with original parts inside the engine, where available
