CB 500 resurrection
Oddjob:
Ahh, there is no lid on the airfilter box Gary, the 550 has a sort of snorkel affair but the 500 hasn't, it's completely open and you can see the airfilter through the mesh when it's fitted. The upper brackets on the 550 holding the airbox in place has small studs fitted which the airbox snorkel fits and it's then held on with wing nuts, the 500 brackets don't have these studs, they are flat on top.
The 550F never got the tool tray Gary, the tools are inside the seat at the back. Hence why they got a snorkel to stop any water being dropped down there from the seat foam when you sat on it. For some reason Honda didn't seem to think that might happen on the 500 or maybe there are no holes above that point.

Well thats interesting, the lid I have clips onto the bolts that hold the airbox but it is a bit wobblily. Obviously not meant to be there.
Friday night is beer and pool so Ill investigate in the morning.
Oddjob:
The European 500 got some sort of airbox cover but I don't think it's that one. They got different carbs though as well so compensate and run much different size jets.
Sesman:
This fecker.?
Oddjob:
No, TBH I'd forgotten about that little thing. It's a cover that goes across the entire top of the box, has a small curled over section. I believe it was installed to reduce induction roar.
CMS haven't got that correct parts book for the European model, not sure where there will be one.
They come up occasionally on Ebay.
