I’ve got a speedo to sell if you’re interested. Cable attachment comes straight out of the back.

I have been using Marvels Mystery oil which is supposed to have some secret mystery ingredient LOL

Anyone else come across this stuff?

Very popular in the US and I originally bought a bottle to try and free my seized engine (which it didn’t) and just using up what is left

Yes. Came accross it on an offshore oil rig that had been operated by Americans. We used to use it as a penetrating fluid. Can’t say it was any better or worse than WD 40

Should have an early ‘square case’ crankcase on a bike that early. I’ve had several early 500 K0’s and an engine range variance of 3000+ means it’s 99% likely to have had a replacement engine..

Gotcha

Replacement engine though will hurt the value significantly...

Where does it say it’s got a replacement engine?

CB500/550 / Re: New CB500 K0 project. USA vs UK spec?

Hello.

To my knowledge, differences I know of, there could be others, are handlebars, higher on US model, light switches, rear light is bigger on US and bracket is chrome as opposed to painted black on a UK model. Paint colours are probably different as well.

I think the running gear and engine parts are the same but others will have more knowledge on that front.

Enjoy the jumble and enjoy doing the bike up.

Thx saw those as well but can’t see how the inner core wire gets fitted/crimped. Maybe I am being dumb!
Strip back the insulation so that the internal conducting wire is long enough to fold back over the insulator and crimp the conductor wire between the connector and the insulation.
