CB500/550 / Honda cb550k1 throttle cables with uk bars
« on: November 24, 2020, 04:56:06 PM »
Could anyone tell me a source to get correct cables for my project that don't cost the earth. Cmsnl want £33 for pull and £28 for a pull cable. Silvers only has a pull cable in stock and I've just bought a set on Ebay listed for a 550 and they are incorrect.

Any info would be great.

I'm in the UK.

CB500/550 / CB550K1 Carb air vent pipes
« on: November 23, 2020, 09:09:50 AM »
I'm at the final bit of getting my cb550 started for the first time since 1984! The carbs will be going on next week but I'm short of the air vent pipes. I will make some up myself but can anyone tell me how long they should be and where they route please?

Cheers

CB500/550 / CB550 Original Exhausts
« on: November 02, 2020, 05:16:19 PM »
I'm looking for a set of 4 into 4 exhausts for my 75' 550. I've hunted around for a good secondhand set but they are rare. So I'm looking to buy  replica set from Dave Silvers or Cmsnl. Silvers are showing out of stock but Cmsnl show in stock, are they the same builder/supplier? Does anyone have any feedback on quality? At £1000 a set they are not cheap so I expect them to be decent.

Any feedback would be great.

CB500/550 / Honda CB550 1975 usa spec running lights
« on: November 01, 2020, 03:52:45 PM »
Hi.

I am sorting all the wiring out on my usa spec cb550, I've rewired the indicators and when I tried them they remain on with the headlight. I've removed the blue/white and orange/white wires and the indicators perform as normal and remain off, but the headlight remains on all the time, how can I stop this please?

Cheers

CB500/550 / Honda CB550K1 throttle cable lengths
« on: September 29, 2020, 08:11:09 AM »
Hi.

Could anyone give me an approximate length for the throttle cables please. My project had some idiotic cowhorns on so I'm believe they might have had to buy longer cables, but because I'm on a tight budget I don't want to buy some new ones in case these are correct.

Cheers

CB500/550 / New owner with a CB550K0 1974 project.
« on: September 22, 2020, 04:42:10 PM »
Hi.

New to the forum and CB550 ownership. I've just bought a cb550 US import project after recently selling my VFR.


The 550 is in rough condition and I'm slowly going through it all. I'm removed the carbs last night in order strip and clean them . On removing the float bowls they are badly damaged with one of the float posts snapped off. So I'm on the lookout for replacement carbs or at very least no3 carb(i will put a wanted post up later)

For the time being i just wanted to say Hi and thanks for adding me to your forum
