There are 2 motors included in the sale. The non original 650 motor and the original CB550E1138683, athough this doesn't seem to be complete.
Ref the frame.
The headstock has been re stamped with the SABTVR number. It would appear that the original numbes has been ground off and the SABTVR number stamped on. see attached photo's from poster.

Seems to have cleared up the confusion. Sort of. Would the DVLA re-stamp the headstock with the SABTVRxxxxxxxxxx VIN on a motorcycle? I can understand issuing a new VIN with a Q plate, but can't see them re-doing the headstock. I would have thought the year of manufacture could be accurately defined by the original frame stamping. Still confused, so I have asked the poster if he could photograph the headstock and the data tag on the rear of the frame.

Cheers Trigger,
I will crack on and get it sorted, dog and chilly garage permitting.
Is MIG or gas welding, which is the better one to use?
Bill.

Hi Trigger,
Here are a few pics of the splits on the edges. All from the weak point where the cover attaches to the seat pan [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Well, That's the seat stripped down.
Cover, original, but a couple of splits.
Foam OK, but a couple of rough bits. Can the rough bits be cut out and replaced? What adhesive is best?
The seat pan itself is rusty in places, with a few splits at the edge. All the splits start at the same point where the integral cover spikes are located. Design fault?
After getting the pan welded and painted, I think I will use some pop riveted on cover spike sets sold by PandK Classic Bikes.
As a matter of interest, how many models share the same seat pan as the CB550?

The right hand rail, as seen in the picture is fine. It's the left hand one that has the dents and a scrape on it.
If you have a good set Trigger, all the better. If you can find them, PM me how much you want for them.
Cheers Bill W.

Managed to get the side rails off, all 8 pins and clips intact. One rail has a few dents in it. I might try and tap them out.
I have also taken one of the buckles and the cross strap off. The other JIS headed bolt has been chewed up by someone using a non JIS screwdriver. I left it soaking in penetrating oil.
One thing of concern for me is how tight the cross strap is. The first picture shows how tight it is.
Also, as the strap loops through the buckle, it is fastened, rather crudely, by an over long bolt and nut, plus washers. This, combined with the tight cross strap, has resulted in this long bolt making an indentation in the cover.
Is this original?
For the sake of the seat cover I will replace them with the David Silver aftermarket seat buckle set an hang on to the existing ones, if original.
The reason I want to strip the seat is because the seat pan has a small split that needs welding/brazing.
Onwards and upwards. Bill W.
