Hi

This site on Ebay sells different classic side panels in the UK which might help you source what you re looking for

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385035635944?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749392&toolid=20006&customid=GB_131090_385035635944.139652105680~1454760201034-g_EAIaIQobChMIirL1oqfg-QIV7pBoCR2kdAvNEAQYASABEgJqFPD_BwE

I do have 2 x side panel Transfers that I decided not to put on my 550 k3 but they for Candy Pesto Red colour scheme

I lost a side panel a few weeks ago in what sounds like the same way I retraced my ride on the same day  going in the opposite direction but didn't find it.  Went out again 2 days later with a passenger in the car and we spotted it about 5 miles from the house I was very lucky I must do what Ken has Suggested to stop them coming off

Hope it helps you

Hiya
Not received your pm as yet I have checked the trash & spam to see if they are in there by miss take and they are not so not sure where its gone . I got a complete set of 4 that I are up for sale if that helps you but as Ken has pointed out they are different to yours if you where planning just changing single one .
You have to ask Ken if mine would fit your bike as a bank of 4 ?

Best Regards

hopes this helps complete others K3 projects

CB500/550 / CB550 K3 side panel badges
« on: July 25, 2022, 11:00:21 AM »
Hi To You All

Would anyone be able to tell me the appox size of this metal badge is please in mm would be great please. Just incase I cant load the picture it this one that's shown on the DS link 

https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB550K3/part_198073/

I have found a company who can do this badge in a transfer which is half the price for a pair of a metal pair  and hopefully will look ok from 6ft away

Thank you for your help in getting Muttley up to a reasonable std....

Good Morning all

I thought I found a set of complete K3 fork units but have turned out not to be what they said they where ....... :-[. But now I have a better idea of what I am looking for Every day a learning day...............

Q1 Would a Honda CB500T DOHC twin Fork Tubes Stanchions which are 574mm x 35 fit ok?

Q2 This is a chance in a million question but would any one have a set of front forks that they want to sell as spares / repair for a K3 please

Best Regards

Good Morning All


Mutely is not well !  I have a set of Honda CB 550 K3 KEIHIN 6273 carbs N03 crab has started to weep and doesn't seem to want to stop even after a good run down the road ( checking behind me 1st  ;D ) This might be a good time to have the carbs sonically cleaned and etc and reassembled can anyone recommend a company that could do this as I am not confident enough to do this on my own I live up in NE Yorkshire area so if a company is up this way great.

Thank all for taking the time to read this any help and advice would be most appreciated.

Best Regards

Gromitddog. & Mutely the bike
