Interesting, Steve, thanks for posting this!

Would you have also page 16 please?

If, by chance, someone has similar test for CB500K, would be nice to compare. I assume 500K has less power than 550F, thanks to 4into4 pipes mostly..

Edit: did not find at first view this is 4 sales section, sorry

Hi Ken, if still available, I'd take full set too (all 3 needed parts)

Ok, so just 1,6mm wide "wall' really small - let's see what they say
Do you know also "thickness"?

I'll try and source another grade of felt Erny, I've broken quite a few on the choke arms BUT the last ones were much better. Bryan found them easy to break BUT TBH I found them ok but then I've had far more practice with how the break, what causes them to break so I can understand why Bryan found them hard to fit.

Watch this space.

No harm in asking the firm I suppose but it could be a problem if say they make a few hundred for you and then you find they also break easily and then you're stuck with a set of really small, really expensive doilies.

I'll ask them - not sure I missed some info, did not find it quicky - what are required dimensions I shall ask please?

Hi Ken,

anything new on this topic with felt washers?

I can check with local company who did D-rings last time, maybe they can do also these felt washers too?

Ah, those hero blobs... had to replace long originals on my CB1000R by short ones, very annoying already in the first corner of the racetrack, but then next to come was brake lever and blobs remained untouched ;D

I have titanium hero blobs now on my CB1300, they spark if you ground them. Looks really cool at night. So they tell me.

Yes, in your case I would accept black too, but for my bike I think chrome would be better  ;)

Prices are raising in Slovakia too, but in 1-2 years timeframe will be even higher, so sooner the better..

Last 2 Saturdays was still good weather here, took my oldest last weekend and CB yesterday - by chance there was a very good photographer nerby (lady!)
Weather is unusually (compare to last years) bad, cold.. hope for some better days still this year!

« on: September 25, 2022, 08:28:48 PM »
Bought set of these length exactly as OEM on my 550K1.

Before installing them, I'd like to perform detailed cleaning and thinking if it is worth to rebuild them. But don't have any info about even do not know exact type.
Also thinking to send spring for chroming..

Any advices, addtional info?
