Hi All, a newbie to this forum, but not to the bike - I bought this CB550F in '93 when I lived in Stamford and commuted each week to London and back for a year or so.  It was always a bugger to start.... Sold it to a mate in '96 who kept it in a west Wales for about, ooh, the next 30 years. Latterly he did some work on it, then emigrated to Italy!  So I suggested he should let me look after it again, and he agreed.  So I have it back again.  Still a bugger to start though!  Wiring a bit of a corroded mess in places.
I've made the classic mistake of buying a new David Silver main wiring loom recently - total waste of time due to wrong colour wires, as I'm sure many of you already knew, (but I didn't) - does anyone have a link to diagrams showing new to old colours please?  I looked on the US forum and found something promising but couldn't download the images for some reason?  Or should I just send it back and get something else?

By the way, is anyone else having issues with the verification system on posting?  Asks for 'what month is this', and it never works?  Then reload the page/go back and it changes to a different question, which does work? Does this need fixing or is it me?  Thanks.

Welcome and sorry about the verification system.
It’s there to stop spammers who register and post crap.

It should shut up after you have 5 posts.

In the meantime I’ll try to work out why it doesn’t know the month.

Hi SteveD, thanks, I should have thought about that, but not really used to the Forum format.  Do you have an active Facebook group as well? 

Bryanj:
Contact Big Al a member on here to ask about looms

Whereabouts in Cheshire? I have a spare loom for the F model made by Big Al if you’re interested.
