Paintwork colours
peterengland:
Hi everyone newbie here but have been on US site. I have a CB550K that has been repainted in the Honda blue but the best of all colours to my mind is the parakeet yellow that was on the 400's and I would like to have it repainted that colour though it obviously won't be original but does it matter that much or just have what you like and bugger convention?
Thoughts anyone..
Any 550 owners in Norfolk area?

its your bike and its not as if its an ultra rare bike, so go for it!
peterengland:
Yeah that's my thinking, sod the purists!

Hi and welcome,
I have had varying remarks about my 400/4, the hubs (non-standard to start with) are powder coated bright red, but the way I look at is this, I am not a down to the last correct bolt or sticker fanatic, and it is myself riding it (when finished) and I will not be entering any concours competitions, if any one wants to be different, good on them. It would be boring if everyone looked the same and rode the same bikes, and at least people should see me at a distance!
peterengland:
Yeah you are right, let's face it a 37 year old bike is going to have 'other bits' on it anyway as you can't just pop to the dealer and get bits from the shelf.
