As a driver Brighton to Herefordshire is neither easy nor nice

Agreed, I love having grown up ion the Welsh border of Herefordshire but getting anywhere can be a slow old business.

I'd imagine, or hope, the chain guard is off a cb400 because its been  removed and replaced at a later date with one off a 400?!

I'm sure I'll be asking on here for advice when I get it home.

I'm prepared for some work to get it going but it's a good base for a winter project I think.

Thanks all,  I'm trying to decide whether a near 10hr round trip and fuel or just a good courier is best.  The things I could get done in 10hrs...go to work to pay for the courier for example

It was ridden in 2017 then stored in his garage so will need some gentle persuasion I'd imagine.  Full going over and soak the piston rings in a little oil first before easing it over by hand?

Can anyone recommend a courier to move a cb550 from Brighton to Herefordshire? Best quote I've had so far is £180

So, did you buy it?

I might have had a rush of blood to the head

I'd go and have a look if he'd have given some sensible answers but Edinburgh is a long way from Herefordshire and little confidence in the seller.

Oh I have zero intention of pursuing it after the responses he gave, just wanted to warn anyone else.

Just a warning to other members I think this listing on Ebay is a scam judging by the guys inability to answer my questions and his indecision of the model year.

My 550F is still for sale , look in member sales  ;D

Thanks Dave, I've looked at your bike but you've done a lot the bits I wanted to do so it wouldn't be much of a project for me except stripping the engine paint back.  Who knows I may change my mind

Yes that's a good point Trigger, any 550 will do in that case although finding one complete with the right carbs and tank might be the most straightforward option
