Never heard of a F3 Al, K3 yes but it’s not that as it doesn’t have block connectors for the handlebar switches

I've scoured the site Al and I can't see any images of the looms straightened out, just in boxes coiled up.

Any link?

Ken, try eBay number - 334659501624  it's my new listed CB550F1/F2 main wire  harness (as you mention, there is no F3, but there is a CB550K3 model)
All my looms are normally sold with a red identification & a black/white cotton label fitted to the harness.
Good luck with the sale - Alan

Yeah it's 100% a 550F loom, you made a small mistake on the listing Al. Pic 3 shows the wires that fit near the coils, in that pic you can see another branch leading off which is for the handlebar switches, however you don't show those wires and move onto the next branch where the points wires come off.

Just thought I'd mention that.

The loom didn't come with the red label but did still have the cloth Alans-Electrics label still attached which is how I knew 100% that it was yours.

For those looking at this and thinking that DS sell a wiring loom for the 550F and it's only £82.80 bear in mind that the DS copy has the wrong colours fitted for it's wires. Lots of posts on this forum about trying to work out what colours connect to other colours. This loom AFAIK doesn't have that problem, a quick check on it shows that if say brown/white is the proper wire colour and Alan used brown he's fitted a small white collar next to the connector to denote it's brown/white for example. That and the far better quality of this loom are what you are paying for.

I do have a genuine NOS 550F harness, £500 if you want that one.  ;D ;D
