Trouble is the only numbers I can find are stencilled in ink and are 60117 on the points side of the crank?

Ok royall just as a matter of interest if the only shells we can get are color 'brown or green' what difference is knowing the crank size going to make. As I have a set of cases that are stamped BBBBB which according too DS are brown shells?

So confused now  :-\ :-\ :-\

That's what the mechanic gave me. I just gather it's imperial! But could be metric? I have just found letters on the crank though which are 60117 if that means any thing. Man this is getting beyond me if my old ones weren't so knackered I would reuse them!!!

So today I got the crank measured and it goes thus,

From the stater 1.300
                       1.2985
                       1.3035
                       1.2995
                       1.2980

Bearing in mind (no pun intended) that the cases are stamped  AABAA  and black (A) do not exist anymore, where would you point me for the right bearings? Any help from your vast knowledge bank would be greatly appreciated.

I should make myself clear, I need con rod and crank main bearing and have been led to believe that the letters on the cases are what defines the main bearings.

Hi all I am about to embark on rebuilding my 1975 k1 USA 550 engine I am in need of the big end and crank bearing color codes. The letters on the case are, AABAA and on the crank AE. If anyone can help decipher the code table for me it would be greatly appreciated. I have tried but it just Herts me brain! Cheers folks

It's a CB 500/4 k1 American import with a 550 motor (soon to be 600) obtained from Ireland via that site that does auctions. Came in full Dunstall trim now gone via the same site. (Too old now for all that bum in air stuff).

Ash they say a picture is worth a thousand words, well yours on coil rejuvenation is a book worth having. I will definitely  keep this for future reference.

I kept my 500/4 in the house the only thing that restricted it was the handle bar width which is an easy fix.

Hi, this may sound thick but how does one stop being a lurker and become a full member? I've looked all over the site and seem to be blind in the ability to find the link!
