Hey all

On a CB550F, what part of the engine is chrome? Repainting, and don’t wanna paint parts that should be chrome? Also, is there any recommendations besides how it came out of the factory, as to what should be chrome?

Johnwebley:
I think only 4 items are chromed,

Points cover
Starter cover
And both cam end caps.

End caps not chrome just, points cover and starter motor cover  ;)

alexdecker:
Thanks. Is anything else polished, or just painted? When I look at restorations, they often look shiny many more places. But what I’m hearing is that I can paint the entire engine bar points and starter cover, and it will be a resto true to factory spec?

Oddjob:
What about kick start lever???

Bolts that hold the starter cover on.

Screws that hold the points cover on. Screws that hold the cam end caps.
