Carburettors
Sesman:
Just thought I’d showcase my new carbs from Gerben. Bought for a new cash strapped project to start on completion of the 550. His work is just brilliant and I’d recommend him for his replacement/exchange service.
Definitely better than my efforts.
Laverdaroo:
OOSH! :o details please!
I fancy some of that, they look phenomenal and a better carry on than I can do here. Im doing the motor so it'd be nice to relieve the workload some what I think. WELL DONE what a great parcel to come home to. :)
Sesman:
Gerben can be found on eBay. Gerben 1956 or just type in CB550 Carburetor. Gerben work features elsewhere on this forum. Try the search function for more details.
Sesman:
This was my effort on the 550. I prefer mine slightly as they retain the original yellow passivate finish. The real headache is the pivot bar, which is prone to corrosion and was originally hard chromed. I just cleaned mine up and varnished it.
Sesman:
Ahh, right. I took my ‘hard chrome’ cue from a forum member. Looking back I think he had them removed for hard chroming…so your suggestion they are satin chromed is probably correct. I’ll be doing the same.
