CB500/550 / Re: Trouble mounting new HM 323 pipes

« on: June 18, 2016, 11:55:44 PM »

I have just installed a new set on my bike Cb550. They were from CMS.

They did not come exactly perfect where they join together at the rear but I still managed to connect the rubber and clip.

Overall I am quite happy with the fitment as I have kept in mind that these are reproduction. As allways in my experience you cannot expect that any reproduced part be as exact as an original.

Hope my info helps

I have been working quitely on my latest bike . It is a very early VIN CB550 K0

I did lots of work on it from re spraying it all up to opening the engine and carrying out what ever was needed !! Just a few things left to do so I decided to take it out for its first ride !!

Looks nice ,

I have bought 2 systems 1 for my Cb 750 K6 and one for my CB 550 K0 on both Models Centre stand can be fitted and actually a bracket was supplied for the Centre stand to stop against ,

What i can add is that since they are made of stainless steel they go slightly yellow . As for sound the one one the 750 is with out an end can so its very loud !! The one on the 550 is ca complete system and it has a very nice sporty sound .

Hope this info Helps

Nice examples!!

Just noted the one that ULI showed that it has only 1 number difference from the Frame number to the engine number !! Is that abit more unusual for these bikes ?

CB500/550 / Bronze valve guides for CB550 K0

« on: March 29, 2016, 08:20:33 PM »

Hi All !!

Need some help in sourcing Bronze valve guides for exhaust valves of my ongoing rebuild of CB550 K0

Any body knows a source in the UK for this or in europe?

Also would need advice if only changing exhaust ones would be ok ?. The guys at the machine shop the exhaust ones are abit loose and they said its quite common on every engine that the exhaust ones are more likely to go than originals

Also would also valves need replacing with the guides?

Also he recomended to go for bronze ones.

Any help on this subject would be great !!

Johnny
