Great few hours out at Boston Bike Night. New organising team this year and they have moved it from Central Park back to the town centre, Wide Bargate, Strait Bargate and the Market Place. Massive number of bikes there, of all sorts, and a lots of local 'non bikers' visiting and enjoying themselves. I didn't take any photos but when I see some posted on local bike groups by others, I'll post some. All in, a great evening. It was cold though, dry and bright but not much like July 😢😢😢

I think you have that the wrong way round Julie, the cutouts are for external wiring the non cutouts for internal and both should have pegs to fit in holes on the bars to stop rotation
You could well be right Bryan, it's been a while since I've had to fit switch gear ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Thanks Julie, I was hoping mine should have the wiring through the bars as I thnk it looks tidier.
Yes, that would have been nice, as you say, it just looks tidier. I think the switch gear housing is different for the bars that have the holes for internal wiring, they have a little sort of half moon cut out on the underside so the switch gear sits around the bar before the wires disappear down the holes, I can't remember the switch gear for the externally mounted wires having the cutouts but I haven't any of that type of bars / switchgear here to check 🤔🤔🤔🤔.

If I remember correctly, the wires on that model go inside the bars. I had a customer on to me the other day wanting a replacement, which I don't stock, as he had dropped the bike and bent the bars. His was a 1975 550 K0 USA model.

She looks lovely. Does it have 2 horns fitted, or is that something else?. I know diddly squat about the 360.

Remove the paint on the seat with nail varnish remover and re do with a stencil from Piki (I may have a spare here come to think of it) and TRG spray vinyl paint.

Lovely few hours out at a new, well 2nd year, bike show at West Ashby Manor near Horncastle. Loads of bikes of all sorts, scooter groups, specialist bike displays, race bikes, lots of different beautiful vintage bikes, as well as trikes and special builds. A few nice Honda fours, including Chris R on his Sandcast and his wife Lynn on her 400 four and a beautiful Black Bomber. Lovely location for it, a country manor by a big lake, food and drink. All in, a great time and great venue.

Trouble is, it’s number two cylinder and you can’t get straight onto it very easy
You would be better off for piece of mind having all 4 done at the same time. It's 50+ year old alloy, if one has given way, it may not be long before the others give way.

Take it to a reputable bike engineer. An insert can be inserted with the engine in the frame (exhausts removed). With exhausts still fitted, it can be done but very, very awkward. Watch for swarf going down the hole.

On a 750, can you just remove the head whilst the engine is in place in the frame?
No, it's an engine out job even to get the top breather cover off of the 750/4.

No idea to be honest, USA colours and tank decal specs are a mystery to me but, as it's been sat D many times before, you can't trust everything you read on tinternet. You could ask on the USA forum, but even then, you may get conflicting answers.
I'm assuming it's a USA model and not an European Market import? as their colours / models etc were different again.

Thanks Julie.
From looking at CB550 1975 colours on RS paint website, Candy Sapphire Blue came up, maybe it's a mistake, as I can't find any online apart from the attached CB500 and a 550 which is watermarked
This says not:

But does anyone know, did Honda make CB550 in this blue, with the 1975 tank graphics?

Ok, I’ll pick a random colour and hope for the best then?
Anyone else got a sensible suggestion, who has used that colour?
RS Paints stock it.
