Title: Dremel using a pic of a US CB550-4 on their website.
Post by: Oddjob on September 05, 2022, 03:29:20 PM

Just spotted this.

Looks like a US model as the side panel badge is different, same as the 500 as it still has a clutch cable fitted to the left side casing, so it could be a 500K2/3. Bit of a rusty bike if I'm honest.

Wonder if it's anyone on here's bike.

Are the chain cover cases supposed to be panheads? If so, it's unoriginal AND has been parked in a pond. Plenty of dremel  heads needed...

Yeah, originally cross headed JIS screws. Those look to be allen keyed bolts, common mod back in the day.

I bought 2 x Dremel 4300s the other month, superb bit of kit, much better than my previous 4000s.

One of my most used tools when restoring the bike.

Cheers

Scroll down the page and there are some pics of the Dremel being used.

One of them is on a CB500/550K
