Engine and frame is a cb500/4 hence the engine number and frame number.
All the electric fittings including those on the handlebars are listed exactly the same as those at David Silver website for cb500/4.
I have put new pistons,rings,gaskets and seals from the DS website.
I remember the old pistons where oversize perhaps it had a new head and every thing else standard.
What size would a 550 piston be ?
This is how I bought it.
Will post some more pics.

The wiring is a mess with a huge bunch in and near the headlight, not noticed any plugs or sockets near the coils.
I do have a spare new ignition switch that could possibly be attached to frame under tank, or wondering if the ignition wires could be extended to the clock area, just a thought. It'll be next year before I do any thing serious its too cold now.

The previous owner did do a lot of changes,4 into 1 exhaust,red white and blue colour scheme,he said he put a racing cam in, the swing arm is not original and thats probably why a 98 link drive chain didnt fit but a 100 link did.
Regarding the wiring loom do you reckon a 550 would fit, theres no comeback on replies, thanks for the info tho'.

Some time next year I will be attempting to put on a new wiring loom, CB 500/4 1974, but my ignition key is in between the clocks. All the looms I have seen has the ignition barrel under the tank left side, anyone know how I can be sure I get the right loom.

Thanks Bryanj but 20W seems a bit heavy for a road bike.

Thanks for replying, I did have a look round and settling for Halfords Castrol ATF TQ D111.
Theres quite a few references to 10w30 fork oil, I wonder if thats what was in forks originally.

Starting to put things back together on my 500/4 74.
New bearings in stearing head and struggled with the fork oil seals, easy when you know how.
But my question is what fork oil do I use, book says 10w30? surely a single grade would be used today.
Cheers.
