My friend Graham Curtis rebuilds Honda pressed together cranks  inc. CB250/350K. He rebuilt my CB450K0, CB72 & S90 crankshafts.

That is very good to know Ash.  I had always been advised by my engineer that it was not possible.  Thanks very much.

Fitted mine and they sound excellent. I used fitting method on this site for fitting stock exhaust.
I am very pleased with them. Had a quick run on bike and all seems good performance wise.

Whose set of instructions did you follow?
It would be good to have a step by step guide as has been suggested.

Busso seem to have reacted to the new reality.  £786 + unfortunate UK import at present if you can get them.

The before & after photos of the electrics behind the side panel look inpressive - all those now homeless Arachnids good work!

Excellent progress there. The polishing mops are a brilliant piece of kit.
Trigger probably bored your barrel and mine at the same time!

There is a cb350  near Hitchin on F-book Marketplace. Is that a similar thing? Looks quite nice to me.

CB500/550 / Re: Leak in front brake switch and by the caliper
« Last post by Bryanj on Today at 07:05:49 AM »
The caliper does not originaly have a crush washer as the original metal pipe seals on conical surfaces, but you have different fittingd and may need the washer

Thank you all for the replies. The leak by the switch seems very minor. I don't need to pump the lever to make the brake work. But when I use the brake 3-4 times, a tiny drop of fluid will leak from the switch. I will try and see if I can tighten it a bit and maybe that helps.

I was looking at this spare part list (https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550f2-super-sport-550-four-1977-european-direct-sales_model17122/partslist/F05.html) and the washers (part 17) just seemed like regular steel ones - that's why I got a little confused.

The connection to the caliper pipe inlet is still a bit of a mystery to me. Maybe it's just broken. The part list doesn't say it needs a crush washer, so I don't know how to seal it. Why is there no crush washer here?
