Well done Dom, its not easy to do things like that.

Cheaper to get used head if fins gone, all 500 and 550 are the same.
Yes if its dropped a valve there will be piston and possibly liner damage, piston sets available at about £35 each, bring it to Gloucester a nd i can bore it for you

The amount they hang down is of no matter as long as they shut off the fuel at the same level.
I can only assume that the tang to stop them hanging down too far is to make it easier to fit the float bowls, cant think of any other reason

Only oval if the brake pedal pulses under your foot.
The noise could be dust in the drum

Ken, that depend on the cases as 550 liners will not fit in some 500 but will in others, i am working on dropping a set of 550 liners into a 500 block to see.
I would happily do some blocks for you but it is wearher and work dependant as i have to set up outside!

CB500/550 / 500 big bore

I have just finished boring out a set of 500 barrells to take 550 +0.25 pistons and if anybody is interested in buying these, with piston kits, before i bolt them into one of my engines please get in touch.
In the next few weeks i will also have barrells at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mm oversize along with kits if anybody is interested.

I have been busy using my boring bar and sorting out piston kits purchased over time..

There is a possibility of a set bored to a rare set of Yoshimura pistons at 59mm which is the maximum a 500 liner can go to.

Keep it dirty side down

Well it was a K3 once so not worth a lot to start with.
Probably £500 to take it away!!

The insides fall apart due to aged nylon, the start button has 3 contacts and turns the headlight off before working the starter
