I think your right about the spindle being fitted the wrong way round. I have just visited David Silver's museum in Leiston, Suffolk and looked at his CB550 and noticed it was the other way round. I bought the bike earlier this year and have realised quite a few things butchered on the bike. Cheers for all the help.
By the way David has got a nice lot of bikes up there in the museum, even one that used to sit in my garage until a Top Gear presenter bought it then sold it to David. Lol

Hi all, still trying to sort out thr front brake on my 550K3, the wheel caliper piston is stuck all the way in, how do I get it out? I think it is partially seized. Also the front disc plate was rubbing on the fork bottom, I slacken the front wheel clamps and tap the spindle slighty which released it but how much tolerance should you have between the disc plate and fork bottom leg?

Anyone got any ideas on the disc plate and lower fork outer clearance?

Is there any difference between the CB550K front disc spat cover and the 400/4? Would a 400/4 one fit in a fashion?

Cheers

Being watching this show, good or bad I find it enjoyable. I see this is series 6, is there anyway of seeing the old ones. I tried sky box sets but only this series is on there?
