Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm near Durham and I'll fill my profile in now. I don't have any pics yet but I may take some later today. The bike was spotted by the guy I bought it off (who rides a cb750) it was under a cover next to a wall that was being demolished, he persuaded the owner to part with it, got it running with very little work and sold it to me.
I'm sure I'll have loads of questions but I'll wait for the workshop manual arriving in the post and get to know the bike a bit first. (All the ones I downloaded turned out to be for a 2 cylinder cb400)

Hi,

I've just bought a CB550K and found this forum.
I don't really know much about these bikes yet, mines been off the road for the last 7 years but appears to be fairly complete and original, it could do with some general tidying but it looks like it may go straight through a MOT. It starts and funs fine but feels very flat, I'm in the process of downloading a workshop manual so I can check it over properly.

This is my first big bike having ridden a Chinese copy of a Z50 for the last 4 or 5 years. The z50 is quite heavily modified with 125 engine in it for a start, but I currently intend to keep the 550 fairly standard.
I've also got a CF70 that I'm sorting out for my girlfriend, it's lowered with proper front forks, 110 engine and fat rims.

Cheers

Allan
