Latest from Pikey:-
I'd sell my 2 Helix for £900 as is if anyone wants a project they were both running before lay up .If not will be doing at least one and selling this year with MOT once my Vespa gt 200 is MOTD and sold .Just keeping the Sym Hd and Sh 125 .

Bern, Very much belated reply but only thing that might be shared between CN250 and Foresight 250 is spark plug, CN has a vertical engine whereas Foresight has horizontal engine - cause I got both!

That's Bob. Don't know about him having two, but he had a very decent US import one last time I saw him (on the far right in the picture above). If he was selling that it would definitely be worth going for.

Watch this space guys, more news (and pictures) tomorrow

I did get a CN 250 Helix, a red one that had a few faults which I have replaced with OEM parts that has made it pretty good, I have one job outstanding which is to replace the engine hangar, to do this all the rear tupperware
has to be removed to gain access, then the engine has to be dropped to get at the part. I’m fortunate to have been able to obtain the original Honda shop Manual as well as others from different suppliers which should help guide the job.

I spent most of the year working on the bike last year but have since had a heart attack with its accompanying problems which left me very much immobile through being unable to walk more that a few yards, now 18 months later I am making steady progress and look forward to getting in the garage once the warmer weather returns in 2020.

Well done

Good luck with the bike and your health.

Cheers guys, a bit of luck would not come amiss - as much as one can get preferably....

Have just obtained a pair of new HAGON shocks which will be fitted along with the engine hangar, cost was more than 50% less than OEM parts which are non-available anyway, cost was £164.62 with free delivery - from Brooks Barn via eBay.

Hagon shocks are one of the best mods worth making to the Helix, enjoy!

Looking forward to fitting them, Q. Which is the best of the 3 settings for them? Could it be mid setting?
