CB550k1 US Import - UK registration
Bryanj:
Yup Honda was very confusing, CB500K1 for UK, CB500K2 for USA and CB550K0 all being produced at same time
juitz:
Response from seal supplier is that they are 35x48x11 which is the OEM size, so guess they'll be fine?

Hello once again,
Moving onto electrics.
I'm going to get an m-unit. And will likely get an li-ion or anti-gravity battery (depends on how small they come).
One item I'm unsure of is the voltage regulator/rectifier. Seems like Rick's unit is the recommended by reading past posts here, but there are dozens out there ranging from £20 to £120 and wondering if there's anything recent that may have changed this opinion?
Bryanj:
My honest opinion is the charging system on these old Hondas is t crude for the super small li-on batteries and gell batteries, maybe a glass matt type which can use the ordinary rectifier and regulator. All the electronic ones are toast if connected backwards for even a second and same if for some reason the connection to battery is lost and volts climb
juitz:
As always appreciate the advise Bryan!
I'm kinda committed to the small battery route as that's what I intended when making the electronics route.
I'll do a bit more research though.
