CB500/550 / Camshaft oil feed

« on: April 23, 2023, 08:07:47 AM »

Does anyone know how to remove/ replace the blank plugs at the ends of the camshaft oil feed channel on a 500 K0? I want to vapour blast but not confident about cleaning after unless I remove these plugs

CB500/550 / Engine paint

« on: April 18, 2023, 11:08:12 AM »

I’m sure this has been covered before but does anyone know the correct colour to paint the engine cases. I’m thinking of creokote for the barrel and head and 2 pack for the crankcases.

CB500/550 / Help needed to identify my CB500-4

« on: February 01, 2023, 03:11:16 PM »

I’ve owned my bike since 1978 and always thought it to be a standard early UK bike until I recently started renovating it. Now it appears many things are not correct.
Frame number 1015211 identifies it as a US only K0 ??
All black colour is UK only spec??
Number plate mount is UK version
Tank pinstripe is non std red and chrome
First registration Aug ‘72
Any experts out there who would know which country this would have been originally shipped to
