I think most people would be looking for a stock look, better get a good original style cover from the likes of Morretti. Best to spend money on a leather cover for your own personal bike, I don't know if you'd get your money back trying to sell it.

Hi Oddjob,
I'd be interested in the NOS K1 seat if you intend to sell, I had murder with Coolretrobikes trying to get mine restored. The sorry tale is on the US site. After getting the Florida police involved he finally produced a very expensive substandard replacement.

Hiya James,
I'd also be interested in how you located this bike, how much it cost and how you brought it over. I've always fancied a 550K1 but I don't think they sold them in the UK.

I think the 500K3 was in fact a CB550 with a 500cc barrel.

I think Bryan is saying the 550K0, 550K1 and 550K2 had the ignition key below the tank, from then the 550K3 and the 550F etc had the ignition between the clocks. The 500K2 seems to share a number of parts with the 550, like the larger clocks and little things like the top yoke bolts which clamp to the fork leg which are the larger 550 size.

Hi Mitch,
I don't know if this helps any but these are a few of pictures from my bike. My switch gear was looking a bit tired so I bought a new set from Dave Silver, the part numbers are on the boxes. The old controls are on top. It was a straightforward swop, the switch gear buttons were identical but I think a couple of wires were a different colour and I there wasn't a wire for the indicator buzzer.

I don't know if your loom has been messed about with that much. My K2 has original switchgear which is different to the K1. The clutch lever does have a clutch switch and the bike also has an indicator warning buzzer.

The K2 loom is slightly different, I think the K1 just has a single fuse where as the K2 has three. The switchgear is different and the clutch lever has a safety switch. I think the loom does resemble the 550 but don't know if it's the same.

Was looking on ebay when I saw this item;- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300842315441?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Couldn't believe he was asking £150 for a single pipe which is showing signs of pitting on the outside so can only imagine what it's like on the inside. It does look like Honda have stopped making them for the time being which is unfortunate as the design is prone to rotting. I bought a set about three years ago from Dave Silver for £85 each plus VAT. Always spray WD40 down the pipes before and after running in the winter months, cant believe the amount of water which sprays out when it's running on cold days.

It's the same tap that's on my 500K2, I needed a replacement and bought the 750 K6 tap with one outlet from Dave Silver which worked fine. The part number for the original is 16951-374-671 which was fitted to the 550K2 and the early 550F as Bryanj states. They are discontinued but I did manage to buy a NOS one from America at a later date.

I used RS Paints to buy the flake sunrise orange for my bike. The finished result was very good but my friend who painted the tank and side panels said he could have mixed the paint if I'd given him the paint code
