Morning all,
CB550F
Tried starting the bike the other night, electric start started turning the bike over then suddenly stopped working, I thought it was a flat battery as I had not started the bike for sometime. Took the battery off today to charge it up, charged okay, put back on bike but still no life in the start button. When I do press the button there is just a flicker of the neutral light.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Bought from this guy more than once, helpful, no problems

I think that's who I used.
I don't really agree with the black and silver plates rolling over with the 40 year exemption.
If it was registered with a yellow plate I think it should stay with a yellow plate.
And that's coming from someone that prefers the black plates.
I totally agree with you.

Thanks Julie, but they all seem all to have a black border and I couldn't find a 9x7.

Evening all, I guess this has been asked many times before but I shall ask again. I am after a yellow 9" x 7" (ish) pressed number plate for my 1975 400/4. Who is the most reasonable supplier these days, I would prefer a supplier with an order online website. Cheers

Hi Bacon,
Try All Bikes in Folkestone, Trev Stafford the owner was brought up on these bikes when he did his apprenticeship back in the late 70's at David Brown Motorcycles in Ashford.

Lobo, thank you for the advice but I am not doing it myself. I know a professional painter who is doing it for me. I am just supplying him the paint.

Evening all,
I am considering spray painting my 400/4 tank and side panels and wondering what quantity of Varnish Blue paint I would need.
I am thinking of getting the paint from RS Paints, are they okay or are there better suppliers around?
Cheers in advance
Dave

Hi Julie, thanks for the reply. I have had the 550 for a couple of years and is in a good original ish condition, bad side it has a four into one on it not the four original pipes.
The 400 I picked up yesterday and is a run and rider but needs a bit of tarting up to make it look a bit more attractive.
