CB500/550 / Re: A few questions

You know what's missing off that bike?

The light switch. Should be an extra handlebar switch if it's a UK model, which TBH it looks to be. Wonder how the lights are wired to come on? unless they are cross wired in the headlight so they are on all the time.

Have managed to source the missing switch, so that will be another job to do over the winter.

I will get the shocks off & see how they compare Julie, but the shrouds look to be a different length in the photo.

Perhaps more expense.

No idea how it rides Mick I haven't had it on the road yet.

I hadent either till last night, look at the springs, I'm hoping that one of them is upside down.

CB500/550 / Rear mudguard

Found this, just wondering if anyone has bought from here & what's the quality like.

http://www.motorcycleseatsdirect.com/Honda-cb750k-series-cb500-550-four-rear-fender-mudguard/

I would assume from this that the mudgaurd is the same for 500, 550 & 750 is this correct.

Never even heard of vacuumate before, just had a look, seriously expensive but looks the dogs dangly bits.

CB500/550 / I've bitten the bullet

Well after much pondering & reading up, this morning I've bitten the bullet & ordered a set of Davida vacuume gauges in preparation for syncing the carbs on the 500.

Expensive compared to some offerings but I only want to buy once, may try them out on the xj900 for a practice.

From what I have read one end of the rod needs to be domed & the other flat, is this correct?

If I haven't already ordered the silver steel I would have had a rod from you Trigger.

Bryanj if I can't get the switch working I will contact you.

Spot on Bryanj, new pressure switch fitted & that seems to be one problem sorted, while the sprocket cover is off I'll see if I can get the neutral switch to work.

It would appear that I also need a new clutch rod as well as mine is in at least 2 pieces, after a bit of research on here I've just ordered some 8mm silver steel to make a new one. Is there a steel ball at the end or is that another bodge?

Just found the answer to my query about the steel ball while studying an exploded diagram.
