That's exactly like mine Mike, pitted below the lower triple by around an inch or so, I think Julie has a good plan there, use it now but send them off during those miserable winter months

I might have stuffed you there Dom, I’ve checked my other ones and I put the kit into the one on the bike that’s on now

My heads a shed it appears, I might have a spare kit and off out to the Shed of Dreams in a bit, I’ll have a rummage

My bad!

It's moving fluid Roo, whether it's under enough pressure though I'm not sure

I've got two other lines of investigation,  first is that I've used a banjo bolt on the caliper but I believe it is short enough that it doesn't bottom out on the caliper. Second is that the mc needs new seals but Roo thought it was rebuilt so I'm kinda assuming that much.

Bleeding brakes!  This is getting annoying now, I've fitted a cbr600 master cylinder to my bike to fit my clip-ons and new braided line direct to the refurbed caliper but do you think I can get any pressure on the lever or movement of the piston in the caliper! 

I've bled the mc end and everything I can think of to get fluid to pump through  so I'm at my wits end and asking for help here guys

Perfect Bryan, could I just eliminate the spliced in brown then?

This is the 550F wiring diagram, the two browns connect pretty much immediately in the loom anyway so surely eliminating one or rejoining them will make no difference on a 4 wire switch?  Isn't it just the park position

I know where there might be some brackets but they’re in the US.

Do you want me to ask my pal over there Dom? It’s a bit of a long shot but I know they’re there……

Don't worry Roo, I'll cobble something up on the cheap if I can, failing that I'll take you up on your kind offer mate

Sorry to hear about your sister Bryan. 

I may make up a bracket and utilise the horn fixing points

What actual model is it and where is the ignition switch now?

Hi Bryan, it's my cb550f1 with the hugely long centrally mounted ignition barrel which I'd like to move somewhere more discrete

Yeah Motogadget was just a step toofar financially for me, I keep thinking 'cheap build remember, cheap build'  🤣

I'm sure an electrical genius will answer my query

Looking at the wiring diagrams I seems the 4 wire switch has two browns linked into one, I wonder if its as simple as doing that?

Chatting with Roo earlier when he suggested I used the old K style frame mounted ignition, I could make up a bracket if I can't find an original but there is a wiring difference - 5 wires on my F as opposed to 4 on a K switch.  Is there a wiring solution?

That sounds the answer Julie, do you have any idea how he did it?
