Doms CB550F1 project
Oddjob:
I'd try a 500 footrest if it bothers you Dom. Locate it on the lower bolt, although that may mean buying the double ended bolt with it being longer. The left hand footrest is essentially the 500 so it would match better as well. You need to drill the bar to take the bolts holding the hero plate on but that's it I reckon.

Funny flip-up peg to avoid kickstart exhausts etc. with the peg in a different location to the K models. I assumed the foot rest was angled forward to give a sportier lean forwards towards flat bars on the F model.

I thought this too until I noticed the left side
Oddjob:
I wonder if anyone with a 550F and a 500 could try and see if the 500 footrest would fit so long as you're using an aftermarket exhaust?
DomP:
Not much progress lately, a bit more plating of bolts and brackets but other than that I need to paint the frame ready to get the engine back in and put together the top end. I think for now I'm going to skip getting the camshaft reprofiled, I can always revisit that next winter.

Yesterday morning I managed to drift the swing arm bushes out, the tube that runs through them had well and truly seized onto them so lots of blow torching sorted that. What I have noticed now is that my swing arm sounds like like a child's rattle, lots of loose rust inside, how can I get it out? It sounds solid enough when tapped so I don't think there is any terminal rot, I might drill a small hole and inject some Bilt Hamber S50
