These bikes also do pretty well as everyday transport, cb550k3 standard jetting, motad neta pipes, 60 mpg ;D better on motorways, not so good with a sidecar but a good way to carry the shopping or on a few occasions a whole bike stripped for spares ;D trouble is now I've more projects than I want really. and cos there are so many, the bike is a cb500/4 cos I like it, but the 550 cluch and carbs are better, the joys of mix and match ;D

First one is only good for studs, never sen or heard of second one, personaly i would just cut the head off with a big hacksaw and replace the filter housing, should be an easy find at a breakers, same on 400/500/550/750 not sure about F2750 or 650 but filters are same so may be cept F2 is black, i should have several in my tip, sorry garage, for if you come over
