At least it should come apart more easily being an import.  But a frame number would put the age beyond doubt,.  An engine number would give more confidence - to actually go and have a look.  I have bought 2 bikes from the Fat frog and they were as stated.  There is no substitute for having a good look in person.  Maybe all the exhausts are beyond hope..... is there an air box?.  I paid more than that for a cl450..... and still have it.

I bought a pack of 10 alloy/fibre for 10 quid off fleabay.  Fit well and much cheaper than some on offer.  Long gone the asbestos rope of old.  You can still use log burner door rope for that authentic finish.  Even cheaper.

Hello. I have owned my cb550 k3 from new.  I have had the carbs off maybe twice during that time.  The bike has been apart for a significant restoration/re-build.  After 45000 miles it needed new rings and the frame + all those other bits have been powder coated .  They had finally become well scruffy.
So Its just about all back together.  New tyres & battery + other consumables - even the brake hose needed changing.
So the carbs have been fuel tested and finally no leaks. Now to put the carbs back on the bike..... almost the last job.
How did they do this in the factory.  Did they "lean" the engine forward by removing the engine bolts.  The fit is so tight.  I was just wondering if there is a way of fitting them easier than making a mess of the carb to airbox rubbers.

Its been a few years since I bought tyres for the cb550.  I have bought bt45's/Metzelers for most of my other bikes but a set of Avon Roadrider MkII seem to be a good price for 3.25/4.00

Just wondering if anybody else has tried them.
