Where's My Old Bike? / CB550k. A Shot in the Dark.

« on: January 15, 2013, 06:12:44 PM »

I sold this lovely (then !) CB550k in the Newbury Berks. area around 1988/89, & i have often wondered if it is still around. Unfortunately i cannot remember the Reg. No. but it was fitted with distinctive crash bars with twin horns. It would be nice to know if it still exists !!

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know if there is a paint available spray or touch up that matches the Candy Saphire Blue on my 1976 CB550f.
Cheers.
Dave.

CB500/550 / Just for Starters !

Well, my 'new' 1976 CB550f arrived last night ( see Hi from Berkshire ). Started her up for the first time at her new home this afternoon, nice quiet engine no smoke or nasty noises

Alas the first fault appeared after switching off when petrol started running from the 2 right hand float bowl overflow pipes. Now, apart from starting the engine up regularly the previous owner has only done 150 miles in 9 years, so i can imagine there is probably the need for a Carb clean. Does anyone know if & where i can get a Carb gasket kit from or do they only come with a Full Engine Gasket Set !

Hello, my name is David & i have just recently purchased a CB550f. My main problem now is the need to get it transported from Essex down to Newbury. Can any forum member recommend a reliable reasonably priced bike transport company. I have already contacted 3 well advertised firms who have'nt even bothered to reply to my emails etc.

so i need someone who actually can do the job !! I am looking forward to getting the bike having previously owned a lovely prestine CB550k 25 yrs ago. When i do eventually get the bike i will post a couple of pics.
