    You nailed it Mr. Smith, I had a hunch the OP was looking for something other than OEM replacements, hence the request for dimensions. The OEM seal and wiper are still available as a set from Honda, 1 set per leg. Apparently, the same seal and wiper were also used on the 90's CB500.

    Thanks I just want to pick some up before I remove the old ones. Hope to get some from a bearing and seal supplier. I need to get some bead seal I think is 4mm to make a seal gasket for the air intake cover top and bottom groove. I tried to look one up to purchase but most parts suppliers don't list it that I can see.
    I bought the bike a few years ago but have been to busy to look at it. It only has 5000km on it. The old owner put it in a garage for 25 years. They rode it in turned off the key and left it like that for the mice and old gas to do what they do best. Nice little winter project. However its a major project.

    Wow, since it requires a ton of work anyhow, it might be a good time to go big bore on that one, or is it a stroker, or both?

    I ended up getting an other engine and full set of carbs. I will rebuild the original motor some time later. I wont to keep it as original as possible. (No Mods). Frame, Motor, Carbs are all cleaned up. Tank inside is almost done cleaning. Made a few gaskets. O rings on order. Bead seals still to be made for intake covers. Fork seals, and more gaskets on order. Bearings to be ordered and so on. Just a winter project to keep me busy.
