Bringing 1983 / 2005 back to live

[kp]

If the overall cable length (4 cable and single cable combined) is correct as original then there should be no problem. Those 28mm caps and fittings are a real gem as not many bikes had these left on them due to a Honda recall.
Can anyone on here tell us if they know of anyone able to redo the alloy type stops on the end of the cable. I know screw in ends are available but not the same as the type that comes standard

If the overall cable length (4 cable and single cable combined) is correct as original then there should be no problem.

The cable is not "free" when mounted on the bike as the splitter will be stuck behind the ignition coils and the frame.
So the longer upper cable will be a waste and the shorter 4 cables could be too short.
We will see.

Steve, what is meant with "throttle tube"?

[Steve Swan]

I think that's what honda parts book calls it....  it's the plastic parts the barrel of single cable attaches to.  The grip covers the throttle tube.

[Sgt.Pinback]

I don't need to chance this. Throttle grip (and the right hand switch assy.) fits to both cable versions.

The width of the threat is the same. The junction of the replica is just overall bigger/longer. Has the size of the 6mm cable version. I assume they took that as a template.

If someone don't knows what the genuine part looks like he wouldn't see this.

I think about changing the genuine part to the replica cables or try to use the old one.

The set with the longer cables have them opposite to one another.
Which to me at least looks as original!

Top = genuine 5mm
Bottom = replica 5mm

Started preparing nuts, bots, washers, springs etc. for the zinc plater.

I put them into the ultrasonic cleaner and add a bit of liquid rust remover to carb cleaner fluid.

Here is an example, front fork bolts (and upper tripple tree bolt)
Come quite good after 20min, good basis for zinc plater.

BTW: had these fork bolts and the holder been zinc plated?

[Sgt.Pinback]

Didn't yet dare to work on the brake caliper to get the brake line out.

Continued to strip her down. Couldn't get the exhaust off, bolts of the joints are stuck too and joints are turned into a bad position I cant get reasonable access to the bots  

To have some success I took out the oil tank and took some pics for documentation.

Need some encouragement.

[Steve Swan]

Sorry, I'm on the road !  You're doing fine !  Just take your time  !   Your original 5 mm cable should attach no problem to your throttle tube,  IF your throttle tube is original.

You can see the top engine casting date of 5-21 for E2005 in one photo.

Pics from the rear rim.
I know there are different round types but I still cannot identify for sure.

Correct for # 1983?
