If you want to be certain the cam is getting oil remove the end caps and then the steel brackets the caps bolt to, spin the engine and oil shoul come out of the bolt holes. This is why ther is a soft sealing washer between the steel bracket and the cam cover

The K2 should have the Big gauges like the 750 with a chrome rear light bracket that is the shape of the UK black one.

If you can post a pic of the faces and the chrome backs I will look in my parts books and tell you about the clocks

DS does 3 grades of rim and is about the cheapest along with spoke kits

The US K1 had a different bracket along with different speedo and tacho as the cable entry is at an angle and not straight down, also the rear chrome cups are complete rather than a large hole. These were never fitted to the UK model which had the straight inputs and cup with large hole. I have a set of NOS US gauges along with used mounting hardware but they will not be cheap

%00 also wears into the main oil gallery ain the lower half but I think the 550 was cast slightly different so the chain don't hit (as much). you can feel the groove with the sump off if its been rubbing

CB500/550 / Re: Tyres
« on: July 18, 2017, 11:46:41 PM »
TT 100's for the 500 are 3.60x19 front and 4.10x18 rear, you will wear out at least 2 rears for one front.

The 550 went to a 425/85x18 rear which will last a bit longer.

TT100's were/are in my opinion the best tyres for the 500 but as soon as the rear tyre centre tread gets to the limit of 1.6mm(I think) the tyre is illegal

The 450 had 341 sliders which were slightly later so if you can find that number on them, usually a sticker and/or black marker that would probably be them

Phillpots re-chrome uses a harder grade and basically will still be good when you ain't so worth it in my opinion

323 means the part was FIRST USED on a 500 four and any use on a different bike is Honda parts bin raiding
