The switch wiring can be made to work no matter which way round the starter button works, when you get the switch see if the starter button connects the red/yellow to a black or to an earth and report back

I have checked using my UK parts book and Motogrid and the loom part numbers are different end numbers---- 000 for UK and 670 for US so it looks like the wing is an odd one in that looms varied between countries not just switches

CB500/550 / Re: CB550F Double Disc's
« on: April 21, 2014, 09:25:03 AM »
Now I did my first twin disc using two 500 sliders which put one caliper in front and one behind and altered the muguard mount by carfully cutting off the psrt with the bolt holes , turning it round and welding it back on. Don't ever remember shimmng anything and everyhing worked ok.

Later rebuit it with a 550 sider when they came avaiabe used but still dont remember any shimming.

I bought a genuine part speedo drive as it is the very eary 750 one that is needed and have still got one NOS for one of my projects which i wi happily take pictures of and measure but not sell I also used a girling master for an eary GL1000 which was identical to the Honda part as this meant the lever did not travel so far back before the brakes worked.

All this was back in the 76/77/78 era so don't ask for any better descriptions, the only other thing i remember is finding out the steering stem was bent where it went into the lower yoke as when I used the brake hard the mudguard came up between the two centre pipes of the (Very Loud) Marvin exhaust system so no matter what you wanted to do you went straight on, as the IOM plod found out just before he dived over the wall at Glen Helen---I let the brake off and just got round, always hated my mates GS750 after that as there was no front brake operated brake light!!!

I would be ringing and reminding them that the Tax is Zero and they told you Nova did not apply. Also a visit to check numbers did not happen if the Proof of year of build  was a letter from Honda when i did a few

Not sure but the regulator is a Zener i think and might not like passing the extra unsed current if running with full output and lights not on

Trigger do you know what is changing on the trikes as we have to get my mates done soon after finding that the "proffessionals" who built the rear end needed stringing up by their tackle as it was so crap you wouldn't belive---nice paint tho
