So the failure has always been the roller rivited into the metal body?
I rebuild my 750 top end a couple months back, maybe 400km on it since. I ordered the large roller from Cycle-X, they list it as genuine "straight from Honda" on their site. I forgot to order the smaller wheel/metal body assembly
so just reused that piece. Silly because that's the one that tends to wear more.
Must've ordered that really late at night, or really early in the morning hah.
Hopefully mine is ok.
I'll also add that I have some of the cheap $45 carb boots (eBay purchase I think) and I've been having a real weird stumble/gurgle when cruising mid-RPM. Just recently noticed at least one of my boots has a huge slash in it running from the end, under the band clamp. I didn't even bother checking the others, just parked the bike and ordered legit Honda ones from Partzilla. Waiting for them to arrive now.
lesson learned....Honda parts only whenever there's the option.
Oh, but unlike others, I haven't had an issue with my cruizin image carb kit for my 350F.. except for the float bowl gaskets, They didn't come close to fitting.
