CB500/550 / Bottom End Rebuild

« on: June 24, 2016, 04:55:49 PM »

Folks,

I've stripped my engine down this far to check the PO hadn't butchered the bottom end like he had most of the rest of the bike. Luckily it looks pretty good.

However, seeing as I'm this far...is there anything I should change before rebuild?

CB500/550 / Gasket, seal, skim or bin?

So I have some scuff marks on the top of my liners. I can actually only feel one of the scuffs.

Do I just put the gasket back on, put some gasket seal, get it skimmed or F it in the bin and get a good one?

Thanks in advance.

CB500/550 / Can you guess what this is? I can't!

Hi Folks,

I've been amassing parts quite rapidly for my CB550 project and in my quest to find the weird, wonderful and great value items I found this charming set of fairings and tail piece in Ireland. It was buried deep in a classified ad along with vintage tractor parts. I had to have it!

The guy I bought it off removed it from a 400/4 race bike over 20 years ago, has since refurbished the 400/4 and left the fairings in his loft since. I'd love more information on it so I put it to the knowledgeable floor!

Has anyone any opinions (positive and negative welcome)? What is it? Who makes it? Does the RR on the nose cone signify someone special? Most importantly will it fit my 550?
