Thanks all, that's great.
I didn't know there was such a difference between the two, my preference being the candy custom gold one as I never was a fan of huge metal flake. I know how hard it is to put on well and what can be achieved but it always just shouts VW beach buggy/dodgem paintwork and just doesn't flick the proverbial switch.
It was Julie's that did it when I saw it a while ago and forgot who's it was. I'll scout the code and get cracking on some options. Thanks all.

I wasn't aware, mine's parked n/s against the garage wall covered in 'gubbins' and fishing tackle, I'd never noticed and assumed it was the same set up as the 400. Nice one Bryan. Need a gear change pedal then

Saw some tank badges for the 550 for sale in a shop I was ordering from in Japan, £7.99 each. They were gold on black, 160mm long, 24mm wide, and screw centres at 67mm apart. As soon as I saw them I wondered if you'd be interested, free postage over £33, I bought 3 items, one a genuine Honda CB500 bottom end gasket set for £12.99, the other were the Honda logo badges for the alternator cover for the CB500 at less than half the price of DS. They had some sets of genuine Honda points and condensors for less than the price DS charges just for the points.
If the order goes through alright I may order some more bits, this was just a toe in the water buy.
very interested an putting a list at the minute.Those footrests Ken,after having a look the PO has done away with it altogether and used the hole for an awful exhaust stay, thing  Ill need the bar,two foot rests, the brackets and the gear change mech and brake pedal it looks like. if Im still measuring, where from and where to and I'll get on it and fire you some dims later on.

I’m about to try. Wintergreen and cleaning alcohol. I’m was hoping to permanently change these grommets characteristics to that approaching the OE standard rather than a temporary measure. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Be interested in the outcome of that when you've had go.....

Has anybody tried that wintergreen oil soak method yet, or whatever its called? I've not had a chance yet but it also sounds a bit too easy. anyone had a go?............Just as an alternative maybe?

Looks good Phil, shame about the fork ears, the replacements look ok but the bike would suit the originals better IMO.
me too! The front discs look mint and totally standard, a massive well done

You can buy the pivot pins in stainless as well Ted, might as well complete the look. Plus it stops them rusting.
I can't PM you as you are blocked for messages from members.
Do you have a source for the correct SS front foot rest pivot pins please?
A link would be good.
Thanks in advance Ted
Hey Ted,
I used these and they were spot on even though they were cheap, see what you think mate....
