CB750 / Re: Forks and genernal CB750 K6 rennovation....
« on: January 23, 2009, 08:27:49 PM »
Those torque settings should be ok as 550 and 750 front end are very similar and yes the washer does look like somebody nibbled an edge off

Other Bikes / Re: what about the 250s/350s/360s?

Other big problem was nobody cleaned out the centrifugal oil filter on the RH end of crank inside the clutch cover as the labour time was high and customers wouldnt pay.

Then it blocks and starves the cam and it siezes which of course is all Honda's fault and it gets an "unreliable" image.

Worked on lots and found em great if serviced right BUT ALWAYS let em' warm up before riding/thrashing as if you dont you will shatter piston rings----holds true for the "K" model as well

CB500/550 / Re: So which way round should the rear spindle go?
« on: January 04, 2009, 01:25:09 PM »
That works on the 500 but the 550 has closed off swing arm ends so you have to pull the spindle,

Incidentaly that where the changeover is for brakeplates, hubs and spacers

You have a problem in that you need a customs document to say duty has been paid or you will not be able to register it. If you want to call me on 07795162623 AFTER 8pm Sunday to Thursday inclusive i will try and give you some ideas on how to "cheat" NOTE:- Not Wed/Thurs this week for obvious, alcoholic, reasons

CB350/400 / Re: Spark Advancer
« on: December 30, 2008, 03:48:42 AM »
I know the 500/550/750 will all interchange physicaly but have slightly different springs to give different advance curves----after 30+ years all the springs will be worn anyway so give one a try.
also try www.westernhillshonda.net in USA postage is only airmail now so may be dear but its worth asking

Interchangeability / Re: CB550 Tank Badges.
« on: December 23, 2008, 06:39:16 AM »
Sorry Dave, still havent been near my "lockup" to check what i have. Sounds like the original 750 and 500 badges---they were the same except the silver/gold colour which is why you can only get 750 now
