Hi Mark,
That would be great, PM sent.
Thanks.

My 500 is like the first photo, interesting printing error on the second photo where the clutch cable is called the choke cable!
If your cable action is smooth and moving the steering does not cause the revs to change then what does it matter.
Cables are smooth so they are staying as they are.

Think I’m going to leave mine as they are. They seem the best fit.
Just looked at 2 Honda manuals and still unsure what the correct route is, the lower image seems the best fit.

Free if anyone wants them, just cost of postage.
Ropey old crash bars off my 550, black paint over rusty chrome. Bolts turn freely.
Could possibly be re chromed or just painted.
I can take them to Kempton Autojumble on Saturday if anyone wants to collect from there.

I can only comment on my 500K0 when it had it's original US bars but that seems about correct. The cables change from the left side to the right above the ignition coils
Should they go through the hole in the frame where the coils mount? At the moment I have them going under the frame, below the coils?

Can someone clarify if this is correct, it seems the only way I can get it to fit nicely.
Out of throttle, around the front of the right hand fork, under clock bracket, around headstock and on the inside of left hand fork. Down the left side of the frame tube and under to the carb linkage on the right.

That part number is coming back as a exhaust stud?
Sorry AH8856

Wemoto, part number AH8566 is for the two rubber hoses and the rigid pipe at the bottom.
I emailed them asking them for the length and they came back with 37cm and 40cm for the rubber hoses.
So they are for UK handlebars.
My measurements at 14" is about 35.6 mm not quite enough it seems it's actually 37 cm so I was 1.4 cm short, sorry about that.
Don’t be, your measurements were perfect for me, I just wanted to be sure that I didn’t end up with the US length hoses. The upper US hose is another 10 cm longer, I’ve been using UK bars with a US top hose for the last couple of years. So I have this great loop of hose by the front lever that looks odd.

Hopefully my 550 will be finished by next spring. I already have the next project in the shed, my RD350LC.

I used brake cleaner from Euro Car Parts, less than 3 quid a 500ml can.
Then various sizes of wire brush in a drill and tiny ones in a Dremel.

I found the spring with a magnet sweep.
I work with superconducting electromagnets every day, trouble is they weigh around 5 tons and are insanely strong.
Wouldn’t be a good idea to use one, everything metal would be stuck to it and wouldn’t come off.

Thanks Ted, my ball bearing is somewhere on my garage floor I think.

Is it a spring and tiny ball bearing that holds the choke lever in the fully open position?
Looking at mine, I have the tiny spring but it looks like there should be a ball bearing or something to keep it locked open.
