Thanks folks.

@Ka-ja...The wet and dry was stuck down well with double sided tape. I was so surprised it held but it worked perfectly.

The general consensus from this and other forums is that it should be fine - the gasket seals on the steel liners and that some gasket sealant should sort the low spot. I've been recommended Hylomar blue.

So I double side taped some wet and dry to plate glass...used drop of oil and a lot of elbow grease.

That got 99% of the scrapes out. The. I did something that maybe naughty and did some localised rubbing down. Worked a treat on the liner but a bit of over rubbing left an ever so slight dip in a small part of the surrounding aluminium.

I think the gasket should fill the dip but am happy to be told otherwise

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.

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?
