Project Board / Saving Mrs. Honda...need help for parts!
« on: July 22, 2015, 08:07:04 AM »
Hi guys!

Last year i`ve found a Honda CB550 1976, i think F model, that is in really bad condition, i mean:
- just half of the engine
- no carbs
- wrong front fork
- rust
- and others...a real nightmare!!!

Now the good thing:
- i paid only 80 dollars
- she has a clean title..evrything is ok regarding the papaerwork..now that is something !

Initialy i planned to use it likje a spare parts for my other Cb550, but i think that this bike deserves a second chance to life..so i want to repair it! Not rebuild as original..just to make it work again, maybe as an custom project for this winter...

So, i need your help in order the find the parts i need:
- complet engine!
- set of carbs
- and others...

The big problem is that i am from Romania and is hard to ship cheap. But i have many friends that are working in UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and other countrys that could help me with the shiping.

All i need is to find these parts and a trusty seller!

this is the pacient...

When i bought my bike (cb550-78) from the PO, who was a really old guy he gave me an old leather jacket the he said he`s got it a long time ago from a friend of his an so on...
The jacket does not have the manufacter or other signs except 2 badges with Honda, a small tag with Made in Englad and that it! The zipper are YKK, big ones, made from plastic.
Can you tell me what jacket is it? Have you seen another like it?

Tricks & Tips / Replacement for CB550 oil sensor
« on: July 18, 2014, 07:55:48 AM »
For all the CB550 owners i have good news.
If your oil sensor is leaking you can replace it with one from a CBR 954 or CBR 929. Is almost the same thing.

I have replaced mine an is working fine for now.

New Member Introductions / Mihai ( or Michael) from Romania...in Europe
« on: January 10, 2014, 11:18:35 PM »
Greetings,
My name is Mihai ( or Michael, Mike, in english ou Michel en francais). I am from Romania and i`m really bad with english.
i live in Bucharest, the capital of Romania (not Budapest, that is for Hungary), and i`m in negotiations for an old CB550k 4 (1978) for the price of 2.000 euro (or abou 2.700 US dollars).
I wil get it in the spring time (hope). it has 35.000 miles (is the american version, was imported from US in 1981) and is in  a very good original condition.
I think is the only CB550K registred in Romania :))

Anyway...glad to find this forum and glad to find you all!

If you are traveling to Romania just give me a sign...mi casa e su casa!


I am back! just bought the Cb550k.
