Is this master cylinder original or reproduction

Unless you get it ceramic coated Dave, impervious to brake fluid. Saying that I haven't been able to test the theory yet until I get the 500 on the road but it should work and looks like a standard finish when new.

Thanks all, I’ve cleaned it up and fitted the rebfurb kit but like a wally I forgot to order the diaphragm, I need to order a few more bits soon so I will make sure it’s on the list then.

I will do an oil change with filter in the not too distant but I made the mistake of reading some of the ‘what oil’ threads and now my brain hurts and I need to curl up in a darkened room!

Oddjob:
When changing the oil please be aware that the oil filter bolt has a large spring fitted but also has a large steel washer on top of the spring, this often gets stuck to the filter and gets thrown away with the old filter. It's vital this washer is fitted or you risk the spring puncturing the filter seal and that can lead to catastrophic engine failure. It's part 8 in this diagram  https://images.cmsnl.com/img/partslists/honda-cb550k3-four-england-oil-filter-oil-pan_bigma000085e11_5e54.gif https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550k3-four-england_model14671/seat-oil-spring_15414300000/ a lot have been accidentally thrown away by previous owners and if you don't know it's supposed to be there you wouldn't spot it was missing.

Craizeehair:
Thanks, I will keep an eye out for that. I also read on her somewhere that someone had tested four out of 5 oil filter housing bolts and found them to not be working correctly, I did wonder whether it might be wise to order and fit one of these as well?

Martin6:
Could someone explain how the oil flows through the filter system / how it works?
