I sure have - a D Super 5 from 1973. Lovely old thing, but I have to say that, it turned into a 3 year restoration !
How have you put 2+2 together ?

Ah, 1 and 5 the spares, that's what's thrown me, I assumed it was 1234 live and 5 spare.
I'm getting closer . The indicator problems were the earths on the rear lamp brackets - ally rivets corroded stopping the connection.
Front stop light wires missing, rear stop switch U/S, no bulb holder for the front side lamp, talk about neglect !
Soon be on the road.....
Thanks for the info
Regards, Terry.

Still sorting the wiring, wired the ignition plug as the photo's I was sent , does'nt seem to like that, no side lights or clock bulbs. . There is a diagram in the Haynes manual which shows a different layout, may have to (carefully) try that. In the meantime, checking for current flow raises the problem that it has a 5 way fuse board and all the diagrams I have found all show only a 3 way. Current, with all off, is live on 4th from the left. No such thing on my diagrams !
Is there a diagram showing the 5 way ?.
Regards all.

As this is the SOHC forum, I'm ashamed to say I forgot to mention I had a 400/4 F2 some 35 years ago, immaculate, a red one, used it for a daily work commute of 52 miles. I also had a 750/4 about 6 years ago, one of the most pleasant bikes to ride I ever had. Sadly, back problems were already setting in and I found it to be too heavy to move around at home.
Hopefully the CB550 will be a keeper and I'll get the CB77 sorted for future use.
Honda's rule OK !

OK, I live in Hull, an arthritic 73 years old and a Honda fan since 1962 when I was saving up to buy a CB72. £250 new, an impossible dream at 15, got as far as £20 and bought a Norton 500 Dominator !. Had many Brit bikes over the years , still have a 1973 T100 Triumph, a T150 Trident , a Royal Enfield Constellation and a Norton F1 Sport.
Bikes in use - a CB250 Superdream for shopping the T150 and a VFR750FS I have had for 24 years. Recently sold an RC30 and an RC45 , sad to see them go but something had to give to pay the bills. The CB550 is going to be the ideal main bike as big stuff is getting too heavy now.
Also have a CB77 I bought some 25 years ago, took it to bits - it's still in bits. I have masses of C92 and C95 Benly bits with 4 rust free frames with V5's. Two C72 Dreams , also in bits. I think something's got to go ! I have classic cars too and an old lorrry I've had 36 years.
Petrol head, me ?
Looking forward to being out and about on the 550, nearly ready. The locals will know it, it was Clive Brooks' old bike.
Regards all, Terry.

Hello all, my CB550f1 had wiring problems, almost finished now but there was no plug on the wires to the ignition switch, wires just pushed on the terminals and had fallen off !
Found a correct plug -
Can someone show me the wire layout for that 6 way plug ?
2 rows of three, one middle one missing
2 brown, brown/white, black and red.
Don't want to melt anything with a short !
Regards all, Terry.
