The inlets on my cb550 are pretty poorly matched, is there much to be gained in tidying these up or am I wasting my time?

I'm selling the seat that came on my 550f, it's not the correct seat for an F model but fitted fine. It has a fibreglass or plastic base, vinyl seat and strap in very good condition, photos to follow.

I'm selling the Motad off my 550f, it's got the usual marks expected of an exhaust that's probably a few decades old. I can provide photos if anyone is interested but will get some posted on here when I've given it a clean up. I'm unsure of value but for arguments sake £120?

Just wondered on the off chance whether anyone was selling a Delkevic 4 into 1 exhaust system for a cb550f, I was looking for the straight silencer version or just the headers with collector.

I'm doing as much plating of all parts on mymy CB550 as I can while I'm working my way through the rebuilding process, is there a way to replate springs that will get the plating onto the contacting coils? I presume they would have been made from preplated wire originally.

As I'm intending modifying my 550f into a cafe racer type mongrel thing I my sell the seat it came to me with, what might it be worth?

I may be needing a new set of barrels that I can get bored out to 0.5 oversize if anyone has a set in good condition?

Before I complete my engine rebuild I want to make sure I'm not missing a trick by getting my cam reprofiled, is it worth circa £180 to have it done or will I not notice the difference? (in reality I won't as I've not ridden this bike yet)
Will it change the sound of the bike at all?

Can any one throw any light on why my right side cover doesn't fit my bike? I'll upload a photo but the last lug is nowhere near fitting the cutout in the frame, doesn't appear bent or welded.

This might not go down too well with some people but im doing a bit of a cafe racer type conversion on my fairly untidy and not very original cb550f, I do intend keeping any lopped off bits so there is the potential for reversal in the future.
My question is will I need a hoop with a kick up to clear the rear wheel under suspension compression? I see many that use a straight hoop, do they just run stiffer rear shocks or less travel or something?

I'm thinking of getting a Gateros zinc plating kit but I'm cautious of going overboard and buying the full kit, is the basic 5ltr kit with out the power supply going to get me reliable results n smaller items like engine bolts and carb brackets?

I'm looking for a gear lever for my cb550 if anyone has one going spare? I may or may not also need the gear selector shaft.
Thanks Dom

On reassembly of my crankcases should I put a very thin smear of Hondabond on the oil seals that aren't on the case half joints ie selector drum seal?

I'm on the lookout for a new gear lever for my f1, cmsnl suggests they are a different part to that fitted to K models, that's surely not the case is it?

The one tab on my lock washer, part number 90433283000, has broken off, DS are saying they are no longer available so has anyone either got one available or know of a source? Might have to dip into Kens or Bryan's personal stash!
