Project Board / 1977 550 F2 Project - First time owner
« on: June 29, 2021, 06:45:51 PM »
Hi folks,



As some of you know from the introduction board, I took a gamble on a US import 550 F2.

Well she’s arrived, so my journey can begin!

First things, chrome gone in places but who cares really?  Gave her a wash.   Changed air filter.   Ordered a clutch cable.   Found some gunk in master cylinder for front brake, not sure if I can clean that or not yet.   New battery going on now.

Will drop and top up oil, then see if she’ll fire up gently!

Paperwork says she came from Ohio!

Hi all,

As a teen a friend was lucky enough to have an old CB350 which we rode around the woods.   Since then I’ve been a fan of the old CB range, and recently on a whim picked up this CB550 super sport.

US import, runs, that’s all I know!  Nova etc present.  I paid £1500.

I’m no stranger to old Landrover’s so figured if I can manage one carb I can handle 4!

Hopefully this will be an easy project and I’ll have her registered and running sweet in time for the summer!

If anybody is near Southampton happy for any advice or riding buddy etc!

Glenn
