hi rob62
when I bought it it already had paint (hammerite) over the enamel. I just filled in holes that some butcher had drilled badly in the frame in a attempt to fit rearsets. the enamel could be seen underneath the paint. on the frame the support frame for the passenger foot peg had been roughly ground off along with the mount for the rear brake pedal. For some strange reason the support frame on the gear change side was left on. The comstars in the pics came fitted, so may still be the ones you fitted. I also got original spoke style front and rear wheels and a original style swing arm as extras. the marzocci shocks had gone, as had the Marshall rear pipe. as for the motor, David silver spares has a service where you can check frame/engine numbers so I am going to try this in the next few days, as Honda uk are dragging their heels over giving info 23

rob62, hi rob to answer some of your questions (deep breath) yes Hyde m/cr, frame painted, number of owners 12. can I ask a few questions? -
did you change the swing arm, if so what make is it? the front rotor disk is not a standard cb550 disc do you know what its off so I can match it for dual disc set up? 24
