CB500/550 / Re: CB550F side cover rubber grommets
« on: December 22, 2023, 09:24:29 AM »
Thanks for all the replies, it great to hear all the views and options. In this case going for original seems the best idea if you want to fit and remove the panel with the best chance of avoiding damage. Retention of the panel is also important as they get harder to find. I like the idea floated of a tether for the panel which should be easy to achieve. Thanks everyone 👍😁

CB500/550 / CB550F side cover rubber grommets
« on: December 21, 2023, 01:39:24 PM »
I purchased some replacement after market rubber grommets for the side covers on EBay. These are after market cheap version. The fit is poor and virtually impossible to press the covers through the grommets even with grease. Does anyone have any recommendations on purchasing ones that fit correctly.

CB500/550 / Re: CB550F 1975 front indicator wiring

Thanks for the replies. My bike is a US import and hence the running lights and circuit. Thanks for the pointers on what to wire and what to leave off with standard indicators.  No headlight switch either, but that’s not a problem as I like it on anyway.

CB500/550 / CB550F 1975 front indicator wiring
« on: December 09, 2023, 10:15:21 AM »
I’m trying to figure out my front indicator wiring which has been modified and get it back to standard. The wiring diagrams show three wires at the indicator. For example the left indicator wiring is Orange, Orange and White, Green.  The Green is OK I can see the path back to earth through the chassis and head light bolts, then back to the green in the headlight bucket. The indicator light assembly I have and all the ones I have looked at have a single black wire. Which is power to the lamp and the lamp earths through the chassis. Are there lamp assemblies with a three wire connection?

Desperately Seeking!! / CB550F0 standard air filter parts
« on: May 19, 2023, 09:10:55 AM »
Hi I am looking for the seal plate in the bottom of the air filter box on my CB550F0. The item is part number 17353374003.

I found everything else to do with the air filter system to get it back to standard, just surprised that so many bikes have pod filters fitted there must be tons of air filter assemblies kicking around people garages. Why so rare🤷🏻‍♂️

F as in F0 I suppose also F1.
I suppose there is another question on the seat. It appears to be the back of the seat is unique, if the fronts the same on other seats I’m open to do a cut and shut job on mine if there’s any other seats bases out there that’s the same on the front ( not full of rust though🤔)
