first thanks to rob62,oddjob , Steve d ,and any others that have made a newbie feel welcome with info and advise its very much appreciated!
rob 62 - only the 4-1 downpipes came with the bike and they are painted matt black.
tank recesses - yes I did that to cover dents and dings
stem nut - still have to be careful locating the lead thread
brake disk - identical to one of your pics
clutch cover - dull aluminium cover
oddjob - will be going back to spoke wheels eventually so might take you up on offer of disk
Steve d - frame - cb550f 1000201 engine 550e 1100181

hi rob62
when I bought it it already had paint (hammerite) over the enamel. I just filled in holes that some butcher had drilled badly in the frame in a attempt to fit rearsets. the enamel could be seen underneath the paint. on the frame the support frame for the passenger foot peg had been roughly ground off along with the mount for the rear brake pedal. For some strange reason the support frame on the gear change side was left on.
The comstars in the pics came fitted, so may still be the ones you fitted. I also got original spoke style front and rear wheels and a original style swing arm as extras. the marzocci shocks had gone, as had the Marshall rear pipe.
as for the motor, David silver spares has a service where you can check frame/engine numbers so I am going to try this in the next few days, as Honda uk are dragging their heels over giving info

rob62, hi rob to answer some of your questions (deep breath) yes Hyde m/cr, frame painted, number of owners 12. can I ask a few questions? -
did you change the swing arm, if so what make is it?
the front rotor disk is not a standard cb550 disc do you know what its off so I can match it for dual disc set up?

so after all the excitement of the day - there are two big questions
a)can anyone let rob62 know its been found
b)how can I find out about its travels from Yorkshire to Hereford and back to Hyde owners wise?
