CB500/550 / Which tires for my 76 550
« on: December 26, 2015, 05:25:29 PM »
Hi which tires would you recommend for my 76 550. They should somehow period correct as the ones I have in it now are to modern looking. Also good handling is preferred.
Also how wide a rear tire can I fit? I think it's a bit skinny the one I run now.

CB500/550 / My 76 550
« on: February 24, 2015, 02:29:51 PM »
I bought this 3months ago.
Just under 11.000miles from new, and only 1000miles since 1987.
It was quite nice when I bought it, but the tank was faded as I can see many candy garnet brown are, I got the tank and sides painted, but kept the original decals.
The exhausts had a few holes, I changed the 2 right ones, and the left ones were welded.
Other than that I only gave it a good cleaning/polish and now I'm just waiting for the sprig so I can get it mot'ed and on the road.

CB500/550 / Difference between exhaust pipes
« on: February 24, 2015, 02:11:05 PM »
I bought a couple of used right side exhausts for my 76 550, but noticed that they weren't 100% identical.
If I look in the end of the pipes, the 2 left ones that is original to the bike has a center hole and smaller holes around it, the 2 right side only has the center hole. Why is that? And does make any difference?
