Honda 500/4 startup at East Fortune circuit Oct 2011
 Found this clip on u tube , bloke at East Fortune said he would put it on for me, and now the Boss (mrs) has just shown me how to put it on the site. Have found it also on a thread of Specweld,

Hi Colin,

Any progress there ?
I've got aan email from John Davies about our frame , he will be boxing everything up next week and sending.
Next year we have four CB500's with engines of Gerrit in the dutch championship.
Gerard and Yrjo , and again Ernst Hagen and also Henk Nebbeling.
Henk was riding a CB450 last year.
Gerrit is a busy man today tuning and giving maintenance on al these engines.
Last thursday Gerrit  had an operation for his right hand , problem with the nerves , he may not use his hand for a week or two.
We have now two complete engines and some spare parts.

Get it checked out and fixed Sammy.
I've had both wrists done but I left it to late and my left never came good, the damage was done.

Cheers,

 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)..........very tidy iomtt9.

Is that new old school or old new school?

Sam. ;)

I'd say the alloy mounting plate & mag positioning are old school, the Gilmore belt & pulleys, new school.
