I'm wearing now for several years Daytona Burdit GTX shoes.
Never had better ones, 100% waterproof, but still breathable, even compare to other brands (for example Aplinestars SMX Plus GTX are not breathing compare to these)

Very comfortable, don't know about them even after full day use

No zipper, just welcro, not very heavy, looks  good under textil trousers.

Only drawback is price..

CB500/550 / Speedo gear lubrication - what to use?
« on: April 28, 2019, 07:51:07 PM »
Hand on my speedo gauge is shaking in some speeds, wants to clean and then re-lubricate speedo gear on the front wheel.
But wondering what lubricant shall I use? Thinking on some grease that is verz soft anf does not turn into liquid...

Any recommendations?

Note: the same I want to do on my CB750K K7

CB500/550 / Petcock swap 2-way by 1-way
« on: April 24, 2019, 01:33:47 PM »
My stock petcock (2-way output) is leaking via cone plastic and I was not able to fix it, despite throughout cleaning. I tried to find replacement cone element but did not find, seems does not exist :(

So, I decided to buy new OEM Honda with 1-way output (16950-341-671) due to reasonable price.
Plan was to use T metallic splitter to connect 2 hoses to 1 output. However, there is very little space available to bend hoses and seems I'll not be able to make w/o bending hose that it will decrease petrol flow...
Other solution could be to use additional elbow "connector" or ideally U shaped one or other shape connector/splitter...

Does anybody have such solution implemented? Any advice what kind of connector / splitter fits?
Or any other inspiration from other Honda bikes?

1-way petcock pic here:

Get some nitrile fuel pipe from Silicone Planet and for now, put straight pipe joiners in line to join the new to the old, save you taking carbs off.

My plan exactly are the pipes 5.5 mm ID do you know
5.4 ID Paul

Julie, can you pls post link to that ebay seller? I cannot find it... thanks

I would start with bearing replacement by tapered one, I bet it cannot be good! And of course new tires.
Forks after.

Check if you have 12V on coils (Bk/W wire). If not look at headlight/kill switch or in wiring loom (I had corroded junction of Bk wires inside cabling loom, causing that one Bk wire had no power)

Hi Dave
I just finished assembly of my 550K1.

My experience - wobbling at low speeds are caused by tire, its pressure (too low) and head bearing.

Forks - I did complete disassembly and cleaning, then assembly back and new fork oil Motul 10W, 160cc each leg.
I assume my fork is also 100% stock, springs lengths are 460mm. Despite I tried, I was unable to find service limit for my springs... Seems fork on CB550K and also later CB550F are different than my K1. Either I'm blinnd or just stupid, I did not find it in service manual, nor in Haynes book. I did not find exploded view of my fork in Service manual too (I have 2 small springs at bottom that are not shown in manual but are in spare parts catalogues on Partzilla, CMS....)

Wobbling/Tire - I would look at tire (do you have new one?), pressure? Maybe was standing deflating for years on one place and now tire has changed shape that is causing wobbling...
I have old( >20years) Kenda, it was wobbling too when I first tried bike when I received it.
BUT then I have replaced steering head bearing by tappered one and now, with old Kenda no wobbling at all, head bearing is a MUST change on these old bikes. Even new standard bearing will do the job...

I ordered new Avon Roadrider's AM26..

Note: On my CB750 K7 I have Battlax 45 and these are performing very good.

I was working on exactly the same topic : http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,18721.msg164085.html#msg164085
Get paint removed using paint removal (water based gel) and then cleaning and polishing using schotch brite  ;)

Trick is to push out 3 pins from inside. In my case it went very easy (once I was adviced what should I look for here on the forum :))
