Mike's CB550 Project
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm sure Bryan is correct, I put a thin SS washer between the top of the shocker & the grab rail, likewise on the damper nut, I just thought it looked better. Also a more symmetrical squeeze on the top damper rubber.
Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks guys; much appreciated.
Mike_Berkshire:
Hi, I’m collecting all the bolts to fit the steering yokes now that the old school new bearings are in and snugged. In the manual there is a spacer in the top yoke where the pinch bolt clamps the top yoke to the fork tube. I swear this spacer wasn’t fitted when I stripped the bike. Do I need to fit these spacers? See part number 12 in the picture. Thanks, Mike
Bryanj:
Are you sure thats a 550 parts book, i think they were only on early 500 and 750
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Is that the washer with a flat on it to stop you over tightening the clamp bolt & cracking the top steering head?
I filled a flat on a SS washer on my 500.
