There should be a photo higher up the thread, a small one I am afraid, but Steve has kindly added a better one of some smart ones, the ones I have need a polish and repaint to look that good, though the bearings seem ok, although the bearings wouldn't hurt for a bit of grease as they are a trifle stiff, still turn smoothly I have found given a gentle run this initial stiffness is common on bike wheels that have stood idle a while, the grease goes like tar, fresh grease and a run sorts em, though it might tempt a lot of folk to change the bearings unnecessarily. To date I have never had to do a set of rear bearings on any cb500 or cb550. They definitely need a clean and re paint  to not look ratty.
