Wow you must have some patience ;) I would have taken it for blasting  ;D ;D

Yeah mum used to say I had the 'patience of a saint'  :) to be honesty I enjoy doing stuff like this so it wasnt an issue for me and I retired a couple of months ago so time isnt a problem.

Got some of the welds smoothed out and the etching primer on today. It really looks like the apprentice welded up this bike, they are worse then my welds! Is this normal on the 550 from this era, looking at the welds on my GL from the same year there is no comparison at all.

Hi

Wow a fabulous start to your rebuild I will follow this project with great interest as I have just brought what I thought was uk 550k3 but as from what I have been told it looks like I got a bit of a mongrel 550 k3 and would like to get it closer to how it was if possible.

Would you please be able to send a picture of the plastic tool tray / air intake that sits on top of the battery & main air filter box as I am missing mine and would like to see if I can get a 2nd hand one

Thanks Gromitdog,

Here is a picture of the intake -

On mine there is a document tray which is immediately above the air intake and a plastic flap that covers a place for the toolkit, both are under the seat itself -

Nice looking project, may well be the most unloved? not sure about that.... but I like it (i owned one). Looks like you’re off to a great start and I hope you decide to keep her fairly standard..  8)
