Hi Mick

I did indeed. Is he well known/notorious ? It was a bit of a punt to be honest. The engines not being complete was a bit of a surprise, and I should have asked more questions. That said, there's lots there that I didn't expect and the bits that have been powdercoated ( frame, yokes, swingarms ) are very good. Shame I'll have to grind back all the tabs now :o)

Oh, first question. Probably in the wrong place.

I've hoovered up all the free manual scans on t'internet, but is it worth laying out for Hondaman's CB750 book as a 550 owner ? It's nice having the free ones, but sometimes it's good to put oily finger marks on a piece of paper.

Hi all

Picked up two CB550s in boxes last week. I'm new to all this malarkey, but am in the middle of my first build ( a Yam XS650 ). Been keeping an eye out for a CB550 for the next project, and snapped up two from fleabay. Just going through the boxes to see what I've got. Frames, yokes, hubs all good. Forks missing. Engine 1 missing cyclinder head cover at least. Engine two missing barrels and cylinder head cover. I need to start scouring for those.

Expect lots of dumb questions !

Based in Surrey
