Hi Petermigreen, I've checked and there are definitely no numbers on the lock or any where near it. The one key I have fits both the ignition and fuel cap locks. The same key fits in the seat lock barrel but won't turn. Do you think as I do that some one at some stage has fitted a new seat lock? If so I wonder why?

Hi Guys, Still trying to manoeuvre around this fantastic site.
I joined a few days ago having acquired a 1977 CB550F2 (I discovered it's ID after posting some questions). It's a non running import from the USA that I want to try and get to run and keep it as original as possible if I can.

Hi guys, My CB550F2 1977 only has one key. It operates the ignition and the fuel filler flap but it won't open the lock to gain access to the under seat any ideas as to how I can gain access?

Hi Seabeowner, mine too is an import from the USA. I'm getting very confused about frame/engine numbers I'm pretty sure that my bike is an F2, I think??

Thanks for that Trigger.
I'm going to try and source some original headlight brackets as I would like to keep my bike as standard as possible.

Just jumped in the car and went to the lock up to check the bike.
There are no rubbers on the front forks and the electrical wires run inside the handle bars is it still a F2?
I also noticed that the front flashers/indicators are bolted to the side of the headlamp. Nearly all pictures I've seen have the flashers/indicators about 6" down attached to the forks is this normal?

Thanks guys I'm pretty sure it's a F2 now.
Deltarider it doesn't have the harmonica rubbers on the front legs. I'm not sure what you mean when you say it will probably have the wiring outside the handle bars? Do you mean electrical wiring or brake/clutch cables?
Sorry if I sound dumb.

Hi everyone I've recently joined the club after acquiring a 1977 CB550F.
Can anyone tell me please how do I tell if it's an F1 F2 or an F3 model? Frame No: CB550F-2113617 Engine No: CB550E-1153376
Any help would be very much appreciated.
