CB550K3 rebuild - spare spring?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sesman:
If that spring is parallel rather than conical I’m betting it’s out of the oil filter housing…maybe.

Well done Oddjob and Ted. It is indeed from the old steering lock which I had to drill out due to there being no key. I have fitted a replacement so the spring is surplus to requirements (thank goodness).
As usual guys, many thanks for the help. This old thing is going to live again

Sesman:
The bloke who’s laughing, is he the one who sold it? 😁🫣

 Haha Sesman. It looks as if he’s just told me it was running when he parked it up. Truth be told this bike was written off in a very nasty accident nearly 25 years ago. My mate who owned (and crashed it) sadly passed away at the end of 2021 and the bike was found tucked away in one of his sheds. I’m trying to get most of it (it needed a new frame and crankcase housing and various other bits) back on the road as a tribute to a very good friend as I’m sure he was saving it as a retirement project.

Sesman:
Glad you saw the humour. Very best of luck with the resto and keep us all informed.👍
