What's the Achilles heel of the 500F? I have heard stories on here about cracked rear hub liners, tacho take off and unsure on the camchain tensioning arrangement. Which parts are common on the 550?
I stole this from the Dutch Honda cb four forum.I'm sure they don't mind...
What do you need to know Ash ?
I still have quite a few NOS parts for the 500, if your looking for a part drop me a PM and I can have a look.I've sold all my major NOS stuff now, seats, tanks, side panels etc. No front guards as I never liked them anyway and would always adapt a CB900 one to fit, I have quite a lot of NOS gearbox stuff, know where there are a few NOS centre selectors and some very hard to source parts.
Nobody has mentioned these little B******ds yet Are they short lived?https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB500K0-FOUR-1971-USA/part_218524/https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB500K0-FOUR-1971-USA/part_218911/

Never had a problem from the tensioner and have picked them up cheap on German ebay. I think the tensioner and tacho caps have problems from heavy handed owners.
