By hook or by crook, count me in. I haven't been at the NW200 for years.

Welcome Spen, great having another one from the North!
The first owner of my 76 CB550 came from Ballyclare, name and address on the old tax book, you know him?

CB500/550 / Re: Motad exhaust on ebay
« on: March 05, 2014, 11:04:49 AM »
Just letting you all know, I phoned Motad this morning about buying an exhaust for my 550F they’ve sold out!!!! Sale guy said sales were very quiet at the start of the year so they sold of a lot of their old stock at a reduced price. Because of the interested from CB’s they now plan running another batch for the CB550 in approx. 3 weeks. They will honor my original price

I emailed Motad sales a few days ago, they have S/Steel exhaust for my CB550F at £149.99 + £25 P&P to N Ireland, sounds good too me. Unless someone's got an NOS system for similar money my order will be placed tomorrow? Hope to patch up my system for the summer and fit the S/S one next year.
Cheers for the tip-off Mick.

Think about this, the winner could become a newbie on SOHC just like me a few months ago, questions could come thick and fast!!

I believe the brown seat on my 550F1 is original, but could be corrected?

I will check the dims tomorrow?

Adding your location could double your chances of local help!

If that's the luck you have two days later, I hope I never win the lotto.
My 550 would never be finished!!!!!!

Maybe I give the bum steer saying they're M8!

It fell on the garage floor when I removed the grab rail bolt and lowered the mudguard.
I remember pushing it into the hole where the M8 grab rail bolt passes through, it fitted  snug into the hole so the O.D sleeve is M8 but the I.D is M6.

Cheers for the heads up.

This one will be easy!

Couple of weeks ago I took off the rear rear mudguard and bits & bobs for cleaning reasons, I've got what looks to be two M8 spacer washers to go somewhere?


Maybe some of those who don't normally answer the questions will have a go at the one?

Thanks LP, I'll start a shopping list. Nice looking side panels mine are both cracked so I'm on the hunt!
