Hello all,
a long shot, but I was in the garage today looking over my restored SD and one little detail that is and always has bugged me is the horn. It’s original to the bike and it was tidied up but it’s just not quite there. If some one has stock piled half a dozen in the hope that one day you can retire on the proceeds of selling them, Now’s your chance. 😃😃 I thought I’d put the feelers out before I start the search. CMSNL and DS are long sold out…

Hello Mansell. Did you know you can cosmetically refurbish your own? Not difficult.

Hello Mansell. Did you know you can cosmetically refurbish your own? Not difficult. Hi joesoap, I did have a go but it’s got that very weathered lumpy finish that only 35 years of patina can produce.😄 Difficult to get the “as new” finish that I need. The CX500 horn looks very similar and seem plentiful but mint original SD ones ( different part number ) are harder to find for some reason. The CX one is a metal finish on the back whereas the SD is black, otherwise they seem identical, I can certainly manage a decent paint job on the CX if need be. Thanks for the comment though, but mines is probably a bit too far gone… |

if you have a cms account you can check the fits other models list, it can help widen the search. theres a lot of the cb250rs models that have the same horn also bikes like the cm450 and cb450sc

True I suppose, it depends how far gone it is. I have made a few look like NOS again but that said, they were from very lightly used machines.

Hi Ian, long time no hear. Hope you and the family are well. Great to know you still have your NA still nicely stashed away. Hi Nick, yes thanks all good this end. As you know, I’ve flirted with the idea of parting company over the years but some how can’t bring myself to do it! It gets harder as more time passes for some reason? Still who knows eh?, hope all is good in fungos world, might we ever see you back on these shores? You’ve been gone for quite some time, beginning to think you ain’t never coming back…. |
