I know this forum is specific to SOHC4 bikes but some of these parts for my twin are applicable to its 4-cylinder cousins and I figured you guys would be interested in a show and tell.
Bespoke racing parts made for the Honda CB350K in the UK by Jon Sunter have arrived.
www.sunterhonda30.co.ukMonths of research, one e-mail inquiry and a prompt reply, followed by an international wire transfer, 15 nail biting weeks later and I am rewarded with some very trick bits! And I must say, it was well worth the wait!
I am duly impressed. The apparent build quality of these parts is outstanding. I'm a handy guy in the workshop but I could not have built anything that looks so nice. It's almost a shame the parts are going on a lowly Honda CB350 instead of something a bit more exotic and worthy!
Jon Sunter is a true gentleman for putting up with all my e-mail messages and the inherent hassle of dealing with international customers. I feel really fortunate that craftsmen such as him exist to supply this niche market and I would not hesitate to recommend his business to others.

Clutch Pushrod Seal RetainerHigh crankcase pressure can cause the clutch pushrod seal located behind the countershaft sprocket cover to become dislodged and cause a major oil leak. This aluminum keeper device prevents that from happening. No one besides me will ever see this part but it sure is pretty, though! Combined with a vented oil filler cap I should have no worries.
Swingarm BushingsReplacement swing arm steel bushes for standard swing arm. Made from EN36, hardened and ground to size. These are aftermarket replacements for Honda part numbers 52141-268-000 and 52141-286-000, which are no longer available new anywhere as far as I am aware. Mine were all corroded and pitted so I'm very thankful I found these new replacements to take the last bit of compliance out of the swingarm pivot!
