CB500/550 / Re: Engine bolt
« on: August 16, 2018, 10:51:32 PM »
Hi  , just put the engine back in my 550 after doing the transmission , got all the mounting bolts in and nipped up , when i tightened the rear upper bolt ,[ m10 x 280mm long] , striped the thread !!!! didnt over tighten  it, but knew it looked a bit knackered when i took it out ,anyone know the thread pitch ? looks to be 1.00 or 1.25 .
   cant source one anywhere ! so i was thinking of buying some 10mm bar and  m10 die to make one . do you think it matters whether i make it 1.00 ,  1.25 or 1.5 pitch
cheers Paul

I see somebody has said they have a bolt that you can have, but if you couldn’t get one, you could use M10 threaded rod, stud bar, with a nut on each end.

I used the method in the link below, to clean my tank a few years ago now. So far, so good.

CB500/550 / Re: Alternative side stand
« on: July 26, 2018, 04:55:20 PM »
Just measure 4 stands from 500/550 through the years and they go from about 20.3mm to 21.5mm (centre of pivot to bit that touches down. On the three bikes I've used I also consider them all bit short. I suppose slightly oversize tyres will not help, but on a road with a bit of camber I am wary. I notice that there are pads sold to attach to the stands of modern bikes, but can't see a way of adding length to classic bikes without welding a pad on the bottom.

Millimetres? Do you mean centimetres (cm)

Hi

It cost 300 Pounds, for the whole job.


Dave

Was that just the tank or the two side panels as well?
