Hi to the group.  Looking forward to learning a lot about my CB550.  Had the bike a while but just prepping it for the road and keen to use it a lot more.  Purchased the K3 about 8 years ago and not done many miles.....yet..!!  Already had some help wit( my first question so thanks for that.

I have 2 other bikes, a 1992 CBR1000 which I bought new and is still my regular ride....I say regular, I don’t put many miles on at the moment but hoping to do more.  The other bike is a Triumph 500 twin....the baby Bonneville.  That’s stored atm but again want to aim to get that running by next spring.

I have had bikes all my adult like after being influenced by my older brother who had a succession of old British bikes that spent more time being fixed than ridden.... :) Didn’t put me off and my first job was as an apprentice bike mechanic with a dealership in South London....Elite Motors....anyone remember them...??

Anyway enough of me rambling on.....

Welcome to the forum mate.   There's lots of useful info and advice to be had here.   
Now where did I put that 10mm socket?

Welcome to the Forum I'm pretty new here myself - I've found it very helpful indeed.
Nurse Julie is also a useful source for some parts as well as information to help with a rebuild plus her partner I think he goes by the name Trigger.

Some great rebuild post in the Project Zone.
