Hi From Newport
« on: November 03, 2025, 04:44:18 PM »
Not Wales or the Isle of White, but Shropshire.

I have a 77 CB550 F2 which I'm recommissioning, carbs have been rebuilt (still need setting up correctly) tank and side panels repaired and sprayed.

I'm sure I will have questions to ask, and hopefully in time will be able to answer others questions.

Hi
Welcome to the forum, loads of great and friendly advice available on here.
I am rebuilding my 550 at the moment and the advice I have received has been invaluable.
That looks a very nice bike you have.

Yes, it came into the country about 4 years ago.
