Welcome to the UK by the way. Smaller (but more perfectly formed) than our colonial brothers.

Mine's the other way around. 1015277 frame with a 2154987 engine.
I don't think it makes much difference really as there were very few changes in the short life of this model. The 550 had all the "upgrades" 2808

Modern bikes do it too. It doesn't matter how expensive they are!

The only 500 bottom end I ever took apart had a two-piece with ball bearing too. That's the bike in the avatar.

From .net:
As of this writing, CB500 clutch push rods are pretty much impossible to find anywhere. They come up on Ebay every now and then but sell for $50+. That's just stupid for something that may well break again... So, between Shifter19 and Number13 (seeing a theme here?): Measurements for a Honda OEM pushrod are: 10 1/8 inches or 257 mm long 3/8 inch in diameter or 9.5 mm You can easily fashion a push rod from 3/8" steel rod found at any hardware store. The shifter side end should be ground flat and square, and the brake side end should be neatly rounded in a semi-sphere to mate with the clutch basket. If you err, err on the side of a bit too long since this will allow you to keep the lifter mechanism low and avoid cracking. May also be a good idea to quench harden the ends. 2815

I wouldn't worry about copyright - it's 40 years old!
We have a large archive of such stuff on the .net site - that's where I'd save it with links from here. Steve 2819
CB500/550 / Re: Heres an interesting read« on: February 20, 2011, 09:18:38 PM »
I expect so.
Do you have pdfs that we could put in the archive? 2820
