Hi , has anyone got a spare seat bracket for sale that fastens the seat to the seat pins located on the frame.
Also I’ve bought a set of coils from DS and just want to check that the - connection connects to the black and white wire .
Thanks

Just completing full restoration on my 550F3 , ordered a replacement wiring harness from Silvers and noticed a lot of the the cable colours are different from the original and don’t match up with the handle bar switches etc .Should I order an original harness from CMS for the extra cost . What’s your experiences with aftermarket harnesses.

Hi Guys , just acquired a 79 CB550F to restore whilst in lockdown.I currently own. 78 400 four F and a couple of Z1s . Ive had the 550 running and the engine sounds great with good compression and no smoke considering that its not been run for 7 years . The bike seems to be all there minus a seat and fixings. I am planning on stripping and total restoration . Is there any parts which are hard to come by and any things to look out for which are different to a 400four and can course problems.
Noticed the left hand switch gear wiring has be hacked so ill require a new left hand switch does DS or CMS sell these also require seat brackets and Air filter cover thumb screws. Thoughts on paint finish for the engine , was thinking in total stripping of engine vapour blasting or ceramic cleaning then repaint in silver .
Thanks

Hi Guys , not posted on the 550 section of this forum before as I’ve got a 400 four , but a good friend of mine has had a reasonably good condition 78 CB550 that he acquired 2 years ago . He originally bought it for a restoration project but has never got round to it and is too busy to complete. I’ve had a quick took at it today and everything is intact and original except the colour and its got a four into one exhaust.
He asked me if there is any of you guys that recommend or would like to restore this bike for him . I think the engine is ok but the carbs may need attention . He would like a full restoration and I’ve told him he would be looking at 2 to 4Kto get this bike to original condition . Might be a good winter project for some cash for any of you 550 guys out there .

Hi All , wonder if anyone knows the correct length for the tacho cable on a 400 four . I have tried to root it correctly as per the assembly manual but it seems too short and will only allow me to root behind the bottom fork yoke and not in front as per manual , think the pervious owner might have fitted a non standard cable .
thanks for any help .

Hi Guys , is there anyone willing to sell a set of carbs for a 79 CB400 four . Ive stripped my carbs down today and found that there had been a snapped off float pin lug and its been repaired with Araldite. Don’t want to risk trying to get the float pin out as it looks like it will snap off again . Would anyone know if there is a decent set of carbs prefably refurbished that are for sale .

Hi guys , please could you help with the wiring for the clutch switch , the wiring diagram that I have does not show wiring colours or details of connections in the headlight enclosure . Looks like the previous owner had not connected this and has left the terminals unconnected. Also does anyone know were I can get there speedometer twin bulb holder/wiring loom .
Thanks
