Honda-SOHC

Could any please shed some light on where it is possible to get the the original type & shape & open ends battery terminals. I can find angled closed end terminals on AES, The terminal I am trying to find are the shaped ones that come off the battery which are sort of shaped to fit around the frame and direct the battery lead off in a nice direction to suit battery and direction of the lead.

I have started to refit, my Honda CB550K3 main wiring loom which I purchased form DS. I have slaved the new loom in NP But unfortunately previous owners have cut and modified all the looms before me for some reason. Including modifying the sub loom, P/N 3210-593-000.
( The sub loom 3210-593-000 is the loom that links the alternator, rectifier, flasher unit & starter relay together which has the white plugs on it that the main loom and alternator plug into)
Has anyone got a old sub loom that not been chopped or modified that they don't want or that I can borrow Or would anyone have a wiring diagram for this please. So I can get Alan to copy it for me please,   
Then he will have this to add to his stock list of available looms for a CB550k3 Happy to pay postage cost

To carry on from above post wiring loom is now slaved in and I have managed to get most of it to work Except I can not get any of the following Pilot cluster lights ( the light cluster that give Oil Px, High Beam, Neutral, & indicators ) I can not get any of these lights to work I know that Neutral & Oil px lights go to earth to make the circuit and neutral has to be correctly positioned / adjusted to bring the light on.
I also can not get the direction indicators on the pilot cluster to work for Left & Right to come on with the L/H & R/H indicators
Any help or guidance would be gratefully received please

I sent off  my order to EARLS  by 1st class post on Wednesday & had a phone call from Alan Poole on Thursday morning with a quote for £28:82 including postage to make up a 800mm one piece front brake line as per CB750K8 USA import with stainless steel fittings at both ends, Got it back this morning including 1st class postage back a quick fast service and the part looks perfect to 

If you get them to send it back via Royal Mail P&P works out at £3.25    as they will want to send it coruier which will cost you more

Hope this helps you to finish your project       

 I discovered today when I went to fit some new instrument anti vibration rubbers that both my instrument bezels are not in the best of condition fact they look as if they are just RTV together  and they both appear to be missing the chrome / alloy band

Q1)     Am I right in saying that a UK MODEL CB550 k3 has green faced clocks
           speedo 120mph & Rev Count 11000 RPM ?
Q2)     1/2 way down the bezel there is a chrome / alloy band, Is this folded over band what   
           keeps the two half of the bezel together ?
Q3)     Is there a rubber seal that goes in between the 2 half's of the bezels

I like to try and source 2 x bezels  & 2x chrome bands new or 2nd hand Any advice or guidance please would be great to be able to try and sort this little problem out

Regards

Nigel
           

Good Morning all

Can anyone help me please I brought a Honda CB550K3 a while ago and it not running very smoothly when out on the road so i changed the plugs and done the timing and balanced the carbs (Well attempted too  ) I am just wondering if I got the ignition leads back in the right order ?  I have had a look in the manuals and I can't find a write up or picture to tell me which coil outlet feeds which cylinder  I know L/H side coil feeds L/H side cylinders & R/H side coils feed R/H cylinders So which ignition leads go to which cylinder from the coils, Any guidance on this I would be most grateful

Also for further reference which NGK plugs are best for mid range use

Many thanks
