Also, only get the rebore done by someone who understands Hondas tight tolerances. We've retired now but Bryan may be able to do it for you.
Other than Bryan, do you have any recommendations? Sorry for the stupid question, but would I just send someone the Cylinder head, or would they need more of the engine?
You just pack the barrels in a box and send in the post, Parcel Force costs about £12, 48 hour tracked. It was very, very rare for us to see customers, complete engines were delivered by couriers on pallets and heads or barrels came by and were returned by normal post.

You need to measure the bores to work out if they are still within spec to use those pistons with new rings. Personally, I would not use those old pistons anyway, I would have a rebore and fit a new oversized piston / ring kit. If you try and cut corners or do things on the cheap, these old engines have a habit of coming back and kicking you in the backside.
Thank you, i assume i'd have to get a rebore on all the cylinders to keep things uniform?
Yes, all 4.

Parts are made in many different countries for Honda. Even though they are saying it's NOS, it's not 50+ year old NOS as it has a bar code. It could be 20 years old and still NOS

It's still a lot of money for a bike that can never be ridden. Without premium, that's only 40k less than the Brighton Bike which is a rider.
Edit..... 40k more, not less 🙄🙄🙄

I think so Ash. I'm sure I saw the buyers premium was 18%.

That looks like a CB550 F1 or F2.
Edit....more like an F2 especially registered in 1978.

The only common components between 500 and 750 forks are the drain screw bolts, the fork bottom bolts, the bottom caps, the fork seals and top nut O rings.
