Hi,

Can anyone recommend a reliable, painter in the North West of England for a quick turn around on a side panel to match this one.

I have a new black plastic one to be painted and decal applied.

Hi,

I thought I'd put it out on here first.

I'm close to P/exing my 550 and have been offered £5250 in P/Ex, so maybe if anyone interested I'd take the same in cash/transfer.

I've recently changed oil/filter, new battery, nos left switch ( from Oddjob) new throttle cables, brake pads, it's not a show bike but is in very good condition.

As you may have seen from another post, I lost the r/h side panel but have bought a new one and will have it painted before the sale. Also have grabrail fitted and new switch since these photos.

Hi

This site on Ebay sells different classic side panels in the UK which might help you source what you re looking for

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385035635944?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749392&toolid=20006&customid=GB_131090_385035635944.139652105680~1454760201034-g_EAIaIQobChMIirL1oqfg-QIV7pBoCR2kdAvNEAQYASABEgJqFPD_BwE

I do have 2 x side panel Transfers that I decided not to put on my 550 k3 but they for Candy Pesto Red colour scheme

I lost a side panel a few weeks ago in what sounds like the same way I retraced my ride on the same day  going in the opposite direction but didn't find it.  Went out again 2 days later with a passenger in the car and we spotted it about 5 miles from the house I was very lucky I must do what Ken has Suggested to stop them coming off

Hope it helps you

Thanks, yes that's the one I've been recommended, and have ordered one. Now need to get it painted and a transfer on.

By the way, what is the suggestion to stop them coming off??
On my original '76 550F1 I covered over 20k miles in 2 years and never lost one !!!

If you cant find one as theyre hens teeth, speak with Nurse Julie, she has a supplier that are quite cheap and make repo ones that are brilliant. I bought a pair earlier in the year to be painted and theyre really good. Send her a PM, I cant remember the name of the place. Rec :)ommended though
Ok, cheers. Will do.

When you zoom in at the connectors inside the headlamp bucket, you will see other blind female connectors for your device both BLACK and GREEN.

Will have a look inside the headlight bucket.
Thanks.
I did indeed find a spare black and green female bullet connectors, so snipped off my eye connectors and soldered 2 male bullets.
Job done, comes on with ignition.

Thanks all.

Good luck with that.
Luckily I have them but was struggling for #15 with small diameter stem for UK indicators.

It could be the cork parts of the friction discs are swelling with the heat. Could be they are getting real old and this is causing them to swell.

Cheers, will prob wait for winter to strip down.

Thats why i asked what oil, gearboxes on the 550 are pretty robust, i have heard of ,but not seen, of odd gears breaking dogs off but that dont give false neutrals
Good to know,  thanks. 👍
