guys
just wondering how much front brake travel i should be getting, measuring the travel of the end of the lever i am getting 1.5 to 1.75" which is far more than the book suggests. brakes have been bleed so once they do bite they are nice and firm. what sort of brake travel are you guys getting? i have a 1980 cb550f2 by the way Ta

never done silver soldering before but sounds like a good idea, i'm guessing this is different from soldering with a soldering iron? or is it how about a metal paste to fill the hole not a neat i guess has anyone used this stuff. also i want to try and prevent any further deterioration if i can is putting oil in the silencer a good idea?

my 550 f2 was running really rich and only doing about 30mpg the cure was a carb rebuild all the jets were knackered, fitted a carb rebuild kit to each carb

A hole about 10mm x 5mm has just appeared on the underside of my OEM honda silencer caused i presume water sitting internally near the front weld seam which seem to be a low point in the silencer, when i started it the other day i notice a fair bit of water under the silencer, on having a closer look i could see water spraying out of a pin pricked sized hole, stuck my nail on it a before i knew it had a 10x15mm hole. obviously i want to try a stop things from getting worse as the rest of the pipe is really nice so any suggestions as to how i can do this and repair the hole
cheers

just been comparing the circit diags & there seems to be some electrical differences - drat i was hoping i could buy and fit a 400 one - looks like you can get them new from DS - i expect it can be done if you knew what you were doing but i don't

Hi i want to replace my faded indicator switch on my CB550 F2, have noticed the CB400/f one looks identical but the part numbers are different, does anyone know if i could use a 400/4 one as it looks like these are back in production
cheers
