Not sure I understood your question about left or right handed.
Most that I've used have had the top of the wheel coming toward me in use, so that would mean having the motor in front of you with the shaft pointing to the left side if that's what you mean....hope that helps but don't know if I've answered it for you.
post again if not.
K2, what I meant was the arbour or adapter for the motor shaft that screws into the polishing mop is quoted as being right or left handed. My motor revolves clockwise ( I was sent a right handed adapter ) but even though I tighten the mop onto the shaft it sometimes flies off only to disappear to the other end of the garage and sometimes it stays on, go figure.

Ok, so a week or so has passed and I've aquired a 1HP motor and the polishing bits have turned up today but I have a query. The motor shaft rotates clockwise, should the adaptor be left or right handed. The second question for those that have done this before whats the easyest way of removing the paint that manufactures use on crank cases.

K2, that remark about metal work classes brought a smile and a few memories of my school days too, happy days.

Hi all, can anyone give some constructive advice on a suitable wattage bench grinder that I can convert to a polisher, for example would an 8" wheel be better than a 6".
Any advice gratefully apprerciated.

Sorry for the slow reply guys I hadn't pressed notify, in my youth Ive had two 550's, one 500/4, four 250G5's, one FT500 and countless others but I never got round to getting an early 750K series. I'm in the process of uploading a picture "where's my old bike" of one of my 550s to perhaps jog someones memory.

It would appear so, does it mean its a rusty wreck lingering in someones garage or shed, who know's Bryan.
A picture of what it used to look like.

I last saw this 550/4 of mine in mt late teens so about 30 years ago, I spent 6 months building it in my bedroom.I lived in Haywards Heath at the time.
So the Registration is FLP674T it was registered 30/5/79,it was none standard unlike my later F2 but is was dark metallic blue with a white frame, stainless home made rear mudguard and polished crank cases.
It could be in a shed or garage, I just hope it wasn't scrapped.
Thanks in advance.

Evening all, I do have an ultera motive for joining this forum, one to rekindle my desire for a Pre 74 early k series which I couldn't afford when I was younger and two to try and track down one of my 550/4s, I'll start a new topic for that if I may.
Present wheels are a Tiger 1050, I look forward to joining in on the forum topics.
