CB500/550 / Re: Lower rear engint bolt length
« on: October 20, 2019, 10:55:02 AM »
Well that's got to be why they don't just bolt on!  ;D
So maybe I can source a K bolt and it will be long enough?

Ok thanks for the info. It's about 25mm too short which is annoying. I've emailed cognito Moto.
How much longer is the 750 one? Are they the same diameter?

CB500/550 / Lower rear engint bolt length

I'm just trying to fit some 'bolt on' rear sets which are meant for a 550k. Apparently they will fit the F model (which I have) with some slight frame modification which I've done.. but the lower engine bolt doesn't seem to be long enough.

Do the K and F models have different lower rear engine bolt lengths?

Post a photo of what you have fitted and we may be able to help......we, as in forum members 😀😀😀

Thanks Julie, I haven't bought anything yet let alone installed it. I was just looking at the M/C in the link and trying to go by the picture. I guess I might just need to buy it and then try to find a matching clutch lever.

Anorak's Corner / Matching clutch lever for Nissin Brake Master cylinder.

HI All,,

I'm doing a dual brake conversion for my cb550 and I want to install this master cylinder https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSIN-FRONT-BRAKE-MASTERCYLINDER-for-TWIN-DISCS/282150498165?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I need to buy a clutch lever and mount too but would like a lever to match the one on the M/C. Any ideas which one would match? I've emailed the seller but they said they couldn't help.

I can always get another retainer at a later date if it really bothers me.

Yep, rearset brackets.  :) I was going to fabricate some but I actually want to ride the thing next year.

Not much left to do before I can fully mock up. Just need to work out Exhaust mounting and electrics positioning.

Didn't spot this before but is the grabrail still available, need to see if it differs from what I have now and suspect it does.

Sorry it's gone to another forum member.

Fully weld up your seams on the seat and then use a flap disc to remove excess weld. You will end up with a much nicer finish in the long run even if you are having a padded finish and you will find it far more satisfying. Not the best way to learn to weld is on your workpiece, practice, practice, practice on bits of scrap and offcuts first.

Thanks Chris, I was wondering if I should do that. I sent some pictures to the guy who's going to do the paint and he said to leave it.. but I think I'll take your advice and do that before giving it to him.

This is kind of what I'm going for if you hadn't gathered. Watching the few videos of dustin making these seats I wasn't sure if he welded the seams or not.

Slow slow progress. I've never fabricated with metal before so it's taking me twice as long and I only get to work on it max 2 days a month.

Made a tray to go under the seat hump and finished making the seat, it's got a bit rusty but I'm not worried about that for now.

Also made a tray for the electrics.

You may have seen in my forum post I had some trouble with the rear hub bearing retainer (or at least Hagon did) but thanks to Chris (Moorey) that's sorted and back being built.

Collected lots of shiny parts just like you all told me not to. Most recent is this lovely top clamp from Messner moto.

You're kidding! What did you do that Hagon didn't? Chris you're a legend.

As you have nothing to lose and if not in a hurry. If you want to get them to send your old hub directly to me I will try to sort it out one way or another. Let me know and I will PM my address.  Obviously I can make no promises but will keep you informed.

That's very kind of you Moorey, I'll send you a PM.

I have no idea what state it's in now after they've gone at it for hours though, they said they tried lots of heat and welding something too it.. Maybe I'll ask them to send me a picture of it first...

This has just popped up on ebay.

Can anyone with a keener eye than me tell me if there's anything wrong with it?
