Title: Question for the 550F boy's and girl's
Post by: Trigger on December 16, 2013, 08:19:25 PM
I am going to get my tank re-spayed because some idiot had glued the Honda badges on,which has effected the paint. I have seen some tanks with decal strips, and some without. Also I've seen some with a Super Sport decal under the Honda badge, and  some without. Can anyone tell me what is the correct decal for a CB550F2?.

Yes Mr Piglet, i know where to buy them from,but that was not the question. I have seen american models with totally original paint on the tank, but only displaying the Super Sport decal.

That would be the F1 model.

Cheers Mr piglet, indicators look as there in the right place as well. Looks better without the strip.

I think so too. Mine is an F2 but I'm doing it F1 style in this colour when I can find someone to paint my tank.

I have a great  spray company to recommend but too far away from you. An old mate of mine is a top sprayer,he does David beckham football boots for him.

Yeah, that little stretch of water makes things a bit more difficult.
