CB 500 resurrection
Oddjob:
Looking at the pics I spotted the locating pin for the needle roller wasn't fitted for the countershaft, have they both been fitted now? Also make sure the needle bearings locate into them, sorry if that sounds patronising but better to do that than let you make a simple mistake.
The crankcase looks to be a 550 pair, yet you're using a 500 gearchange fork setup. Am I wrong?
The gearbox looks to be 550 or it's had a 550 needle roller fitted. The only way to know for sure is to start counting teeth on the gears, there are slight differences between the 500 and 550 gears.
Bryanj:
I agree with Ken that the needle bearing on the LH end of the lower shaft in the bottom pic looks odd to me
gary123:
OK thanks to both of you. No locating pins not fitted yet, and its not patronising, thats the kind of thing I would do.
They are deffo 500 cases but your not the first to think otherwise, not sure why.
The gears all came out of these 500 cases but given the state of them nothing would surprise me.
I have a 550 set so Ill count teeth. Would it matter if the needle rollers had been swapped for 550 ones?

Looks like the bike is coming along fine. Although not a conkers finish it looks like the purchaser got a reasonable deal and hopefully the resurrection will be worthy of the previous owners praise, although posthumously.

Just seen yours, beautiful, GLWS.
Sesman:
Yours will be sound, Gary. You clearly care about the build. Keep it going…
Laverdaroo:
