Hi All, I'm looking for one wing nut that holds the airbox/airfilter lid on for my CB550 F1 if anyone can help?

Can anyone else download the coil fix file from the Addladins cave section? I've tried on 2 devices now and failed on both

Other Bikes / A itch I had to scratch« on: May 24, 2025, 01:14:10 PM »
Just fancied one of these and after looking at a fair few I fired the cash cannon and brought this one home. It's a 1979 with 20k on the clocks. It definitely runs and I'll see how it rides later😬. It's hopefully a 'running restoration' but I guess only time will tell

Misc / Open / Switch gear painting« on: February 11, 2025, 04:10:18 PM »
Has anyone got any recommendations for paint to renovate the switch gear? Something hard wearing that doesn't easily rub of with use but thin enough so the lettering can still be filled with paint. I've had some powder coated but it's a bit thick and the writing isn't really visible anymore

I'm renovating the front of my CB500 and I've removed the pilot light warning plate. What's the best adhesive to put it back on?

Can anyone recommend a painter to paint my CB500 tank and side panels in candy gold/black? Preferably around the east Midlands area

CB500/550 / CB500 K0 Wiring Harness Routing« on: February 01, 2025, 10:32:15 AM »
As in title where should the main wiring route from the main frame near the coils to to the headlight? Should it go under the the lower fork yoke/triple tree as that's where the steering lock is? I know there is a cable routing guide on this website but I can't find it now 🙈

Has anyone tried this tank trim? Looks cheap enough to give it a go

This has possibly been discussed before 🫣 but what are people's preferences when it comes to carb rubbers clamps? The original type or 'jubilee clip' type ?

CB500/550 / David Silvers Wiring Loom« on: December 17, 2024, 11:54:42 PM »
I've got the David Silvers Wiring Loom for my 550 but the wire colours are different. Obviously I've asked them if they have any information on what should be what but they are no help. Has anyone else found this and worked out what's what?

CB500/550 / Centre stand« on: December 05, 2024, 10:55:45 PM »
On the centre stand should the pin be fixed in the clamps that are on the frame and rotate within the stand or should the pin be fixed in the stand and rotate in the clamps on the frame?

CB500/550 / Switch gear lettering colour« on: December 03, 2024, 05:59:09 PM »
As the title what colour should the lettering be on the switch gear? I've refurbished my old switches and coming to painting the lettering. Just wondering what colour this should be? Some seem to be a orange and some more of a red? Are the orange ones I'm seeing just faded red or were they originally orange?
