Hi all just getting back into the motorcycle scene,picked up an aged honda cb550k,garaged for 25 odd yrs,everything seized as expected but coming along just nicely,lots of tlc needed but will get there,got the engine turnig over now tho a squeel from no 4,never seen carbs in this condition in my entire! float chambers still full of what is now varnish and now tainted red,slides jammed solid,alternator,clutch,brakes the list obviously goes on! have spent 3 weeks on it now and electronic ignition system is fully functioning,starting system all set after overhauling the motor! FINALLY figured out the annoying clutch/diode saftey mechanism! after hours of studying wire diagram to work out it only basically stops the nuetral light from coming on Grrrrr.The P.O has changed it to alloys and twin front discs which looks quite cool so may stick wi that,Im doing away with the full rickman touring fairing which is in amazing condition so will get that posted for sale,anyway,glad to be here and finding out lots more about these bikes,ttfn
