McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Found my receipts
1 set(s) US6WW 6.3mm 6 way white Loom Connectorr (M&F)
1 set(s) US8WW 6.3mm 8 way white
1 set(s) US9WW 6.3mm 9 way white
They also sell the 4 way connectors & right size bullets etc.
They came with new terminals in the packs - my existing ones cleaned up with Cilit Bank Limescale cleaner as per NJ's advice.

Thanks Bryan - I have 3 fuses (see picture). I will check out Kojaycat; thanks for the recommendation and also the tip to clean the contacts.
Any idea why the splicing of wires in the loom might have been done; Im just curious.
Bryanj:
Splicing inside the loom is a Honda thing and found regularly, connectors from Big Al on the forum, he has spent a long time sorting exact matches and makes looms with proper colours unlike a lot of the pattern ones
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have read that some spilcing was in the looms when made as Bryan mentions though not sure how many.
The cost of individual connectors soon adds up so if it's really bad a loom if available might be worth considering.
I sourced my 400 loom from the link below - all the colours were as the original one.
Big Al has a good reputation here.

Interesting that the splicing may have been original Honda! Thanks for posting the link Ted; those prices are pretty reasonable; I have seen a lot higher and it put me off. I will have a ponder but I think I may get a new loom from these guys. I am a bit unsure of what exact model my bike is though and would want to be sure I got the right loom; VJMC identified it as a '76 US CB550K. I don't know whether that makes it K1,2,3 etc
Distinguishing features that don't seem to match the parts books in the archive are the aluminium idiot light console, ignition switch is not between the clocks and the petrol tank cap is not underneath a cover/flap. Although maybe I have been reading the parts books wrong. Is there anything I can refer to on the forum that would help me determine the correct model/variant?
Thanks again for the great help
