it seems you have the same set up as me, K3 frame with an F2 engine. My vin is stamped 1976 but by frame number it is a 77. Also got PD46A carbs but seems to be running fine so I will not fiddle!

Yeah the breather from the head goes to the right angle joint and into the air cleaner box, this is really counter- intuitive as you are effectively feeding dirty air to the cleaner, but what the heck, Honda seem to know what they are doing! The other is a drain and just hangs down.

Anyone out there anywhere near Norfolk? just be good to meet someone else and compare bikes and pick each other's brains.
Also are there any meets for SOHC? sorry if this has been asked before but I'm a newbie!

hell, I would just go to the hardware shop, a bolt is a bolt and as long as it does the job, what the hell?

I know what you mean, but are you going to repaint the bike if it's done badly or just leave it?
I like my bike to be clean and shine the chrome etc but some people dismantle the engine and get all the external bits on a buffer wheel, ok if you are in a show or something I suppose but not for me, also my bike is apparently not made of sugar as it does not dissolve in the rain! (I'm sure some people think they do!)

Yeah you are right, let's face it a 37 year old bike is going to have 'other bits' on it anyway as you can't just pop to the dealer and get bits from the shelf.

Hi everyone newbie here but have been on US site. I have a CB550K that has been repainted in the Honda blue but the best of all colours to my mind is the parakeet yellow that was on the 400's and I would like to have it repainted that colour though it obviously won't be original but does it matter that much or just have what you like and bugger convention?
Thoughts anyone..
Any 550 owners in Norfolk area?
