550 F2 started!
Sesman:
That’s what I fitted Ken. I went for the slightly wider rear end to comply with the tyre fitment guide.
Here’s another photo nearer to completion. It’s now got the rechromed fork ears, grab rail etc on now. I’ll take some final photos when I’ve sorted the seat and hoses.
Won’t be before Xmas though.
Laverdaroo:
Ny pal has a few bases in the states and I can get them sent over cheaper through the fish farm if it helps Phil? He mentioned he had a few if youre struggling mate I can have a chat with him. I'm having a par el sent over in a coupleof weeks so could tag it in? Is it he base youd settle for or the whole seat to fiddle with?
Oddjob:
No chain guard yet Phil?
Sesman:
Springs worked just fine thanks Ken.

Easier on the 500 as it's designed slightly differently.
You need the proper chrome countersunk screws for the points cover Roo, they didn't use those type of JIS screws for that cover :o :o :o
If you haven't got any yet don't buy them as I may have some NOS as I don't think I'll be using the chrome cover on mine, found a NOS 650 cover instead which I intend to polish up, not sure what screws or bolts it uses to attach itself but I'd imagine the normal 8mm headed flanged bolts Honda love to use. If so my NOS screws are available.

They're purely for show at the minute Ken, Ive rederedall the right fixings for it, thats all I had in the workshop at the time. I'll just swap em over when the new hardware comes in.
All my cases needed new fixings as they were all hammered. Just wanted another part off the bench so bobbed it on. the sprocket cover has only two in it of dubious quality just to get the wire routes right behind the cover as i had to re wrap them all and fix a break in the green cable from the windings, I've none at all for the clutch cover theyre that bad so ordered a complete set to look puuurty! ;D
. Cheers for the offer though mate.
