CB550k1 US Import - UK registration
Sesman:
Buy form Nursejulie and apply a light smear of Honda gasket sealant. Plus one on the Vesrah kit, if you can find one. If you struggle to source a full,kit, buy the top end kit and source the clutch and alternator gaskets separately.

Thanks all.
Will keep looking but might have to import one from the US.
Purchased a replacement speedo cable from eBay as my bike didn't have one so I can't compare it to the original. But the one I purchased I'm sure isn't correct as the oring is sitting outside the housing? Inner cavity on speed sensor assembly is 15mm deep and the oring on the cable is at 15mm?
Seller is saying it's the right cable but I can't see how or if I'm missing something.
Laverdaroo:
even with the holding bolt removed Dave, its still in the fixing point in your picture.

If you remove the allan head screw, you have to make sure the tang of the speedo drive is aligned with the cut in the drive cable for it to fully insert. The allan screw is supposed to be a cross head screw that fits neatly into the location.
But not seen cable with O ring like that. Is the cable turning with the wheel?
juitz:
The replacemwnt cable is held secure with the cap screw I'm using.
The pic from the std cable has the same interface as my replacement unit. I've aligned the tangs so sure its inserted correctly and the speedo does work when turning the wheel by hand.
Does the original cable seal the drive unit against the flat surface after the scalloped section?
