500 engine strip
mickwinf:
I don't know if there was a problem with selection as I bought the bike in bits, don't want to put it back together if it will cause problems. Will keep looking on ebay
Bryanj:
500 forks fit on the selector drum, 550 pivot on a seperate shaft so are totaly different.
They were originaly hard chrome plated and ground to a specific thickness so could probably be repaired with stellite weld and a good machinist/grinder but that would be dearer than a used one from the states.
See list below from motogrid as to what bikes to look for:
CB350 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB350-1000001
CB350G A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB350-5000001
CB350K2 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB350-2000001
CB350K3 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB350-3000001
CB350K4 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB350-4000001
CB500 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB500-1000001
CB500K1 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB500-2000001
CB500K2 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CB500-2100001
CL350 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CL350-1000001
CL350K2 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CL350-2000001
CL350K3 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CL350-3000001
CL350K4 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CL350-4000001
CL350K5 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# CL350-5000001
SL350 A MOTORCYCLE, JPN, VIN# SL350-1000001
Note that the 250 K was not seen in the states so chances are that that is the same as well
USA ebay item

set of 3 but other two don't fit the 500, not worth asking for just the one you want as chances are the wrong one will be sent
mickwinf:
cheers Bryan
florence:
Bryan, I can concur, the CB250K, CB350K and CB500K all same part. If anyone is really stuck I can help but it is a shame to break a good gearbox just for one part. I'll have a look and see what I have in the workshop.
mickwinf:
thanks Florence if you have a spare one I am interested but as you say don't split a good box. I will post a picture of the old one to get some expert opinions.
