Work still in progress.

New parts I bought 10 years ago to get this baby roadworthy again.

Frame...old was crablike.
Swinging arm I got somewhere..can't remember.
Triple trees used from somewhere. A friend of my bro's gave me a box of CB500 bits, maybe they were in there.
Fork tubes from an F1 which were different to mine(F2 weren't available). A friend modified them to fit.
Hagon shocks.
Grab rail.
Points cover.
Alternator Honda cover.
Front rim and spokes
A used rear wheel.
Speedo/Tacho chrome bottoms.
Throttle tube
Motad 4-1
Tappet covers
Chain
Tyres
Carb rubbers complete with the part of the airbox they attach to.
Front fender
Heavy duty clutch springs/plates
Seat
Flake Sapphire Blue Side panels

It's a slideshow...click on the link.

CB500/550 / Rubber Cushions
« on: March 12, 2012, 01:36:46 PM »
Has anyone got the rubber cushions for the top and bottom of the fork ears they don't need anymore?
Loads of little things I keep needing as it gets closer to summer and this bike's first outing in 20 years.
I looked after the big stuff and ignored the nuts and bolts of it.  :(

I see DavidSilver is doing a pattern rear guard now. I've been after one for years. Gotta start saving. :(

Misc / Open / Insurance.

Can anyone recommend a cheap insurer. I got a few quotes and they are all around £160 comp. It's a 550 fgs. My mate insures his newish XJR1300 for under £100.

CB500/550 / Motad
« on: February 21, 2012, 02:33:20 AM »
I have a Motad on my cb550 for the past twenty years. Could anyone tell me do they ground easy or is there adequate clearance? I don't get out much.
