I don't get any NCD because it's a Classic policy.

Imagine 60% off

My 550's put to shame alongside your bikes!

That's what I thought Dave and the bits you refer to have been removed and all looks as it should but which way should they go as I've seen a few pics of bikes for sale and they all go outside of the bars.

My bars also have a Union Jack sticker on them with the supplier's name. I seem to remember that Honda were sourcing some bits in the UK and I saw another CB550 for sale which had the same sticker on as mine so I'm wondering which is right.

The bars feel fine when I'm riding so I'm not too concerned but it would be nice to know.

Also, there's wiring to a clutch switch which doesn't seem to be there! Starts OK though.

Nice signature by the way! Need to get those spokes done though!

Hi, it's me again!

Can anybody tell me whether the wiring from the handlebar switches on the CB550 were routed outside the handlebars or inside where they emerged at the front between the handlebar clamps?

Strange question I know but I don't know if my bars are standard and someone said that the wiring should be inside the bars. I don't think it should be.

Many thanks,

Could be Steve.

I'm fairly new to the site and I'm logged in each time I visit which is what happens on the other sites I visit.

If it was a cookie setting surely it would affect all the sites you go to.

Need an expert...

The washer and rivet came out fairly easily and I drilled the innards of the lock out and the thing came out very easily.

New lock has been ordered.

Fitting is the reverse of the removal.

Where have I read that before...

Sorted!

I kept turning the nut and after about half a turn the setscrew stopped turning and the the nut loosened. The setscrew was nice and loose as well.

Nipped it back up again and started the engine. As quiet as a 15k mile motor should sound!

Well pleased.

Right.

I loosened the locknut as instructed but the bolt turned as well. I can't get a screwdriver on the slot either.

I've looked at the manual and can't see how the tensioner actually works. Does it matter that the bolt turns with the nut?

Thanks Dave. Is the lock actually held in place by that brass washer thing?

Does a replacement come with the new lock?

That's good. Is it easy to fit cos I can't see how it goes in.

Also, there's no key to the steering lock.

Any easy way round this?

Key number, replacement lock?

Thanks.
