When I bought my K3 it was missing from my bike. Nearly 30 years later I sourced a replacement handlebar unit through the channels of the sohc forum. I decided to restore my bike and source anything that was needing replaced or missing. Sorry I must add it didn’t take me 30 years to find a button, it just happened to be a considerable time lapsed until I decided to do something with the bike. Good luck! (I was referring to the horn/pass switch button)

Very handy! Do you just have clips on it to clip to battery terminals?

It was Amazon. Flip up the cover and it’s a double usb socket. Bought to fit on my Pan. I have an unmolested low mileage model so was reluctant to cut into the plastic. Might make a bracket or something. Really just purchased more for the usb sockets than the volt meter, but makes sense to have both.

That is very neat. I watched some of this guys engineering videos, he is a bit of a genius. I don’t think I’m even worthy of owning a hacksaw never mind using one after watching Allen in action.

Nice one Ian. 15v seems high! I actually have a small round double usb socket with voltage display I had purchased to fit to the Pan I possibly could do a temporary fit to the 550. Turned out to be nice day later on, didn’t expect to be out on the bike today but managed a run around. Cheers!

That’s interesting to know. Had my first run out with bike this afternoon, checked rectifier on return and only slightly warm. Funny thing I was wishing I had a volt gauge on the bike to keep an eye on charging.

Thanks for that I did wonder about the heat side of it. I will keep an eye on it after a couple of longer runs, I will probably replace at some point with the correct item in keeping with the bike spec. (he says with his electronic ignition)🤫

That’s a shit situation to end up in, but glad you are getting sorted now. Lie and deny. A terrible trait.
Is incompetence curable.😡

Good fix Mike! Was that a similar type rectifier? Wasn’t sure of the durability of these cheapo components. The temptation to spend £4 compared to £60 was overwhelming.😂

Thought I did well finding bits and pieces of correct colour wire, unfortunately no green heat shrink. Added to shopping list  along with black cable ties!!
