I also need valves for my 1978 CB750 F3 410 head.
 I have an NOS head and would like to build it up as a model for display or just for my collection, to look at.
I have the springs,washers, valve seals and just need the valves and keepers. From Honda they are an $$$ arm and a $$$ leg. I need those items, so is there a source for reasonable priced Honda valves? I tried eBay but had to bid against a millionaire again. I can't keep up. :(
They are not all the same!

Nothing is of great value until it is finished.

For the 500 try www.westernhillshonda.net BUT you will find it cheaper to go to DSS

For the 750F3  best of luck as i dont think even Honda have them any more

  Dynoman has new stainless valves for the F3 that are reasonably priced. I've got lots of keepers for those style valves.

   So what alternatives are there for a 550?  All I see on dynoman's page is 750 stuff.  Anything else I see anywhere is stock Honda stuff, which I don't have a problem with, but hey, even those Kibblewhites for a 750 are cheaper than stuff from Honda.
