Title: Another new London member
Post by: bomber on June 27, 2013, 01:19:37 PM

Hello every one!
I'm in N16 London, bought a CB550 77 in a sorry state earlier this year.
Attempting to get it on the road with no luck so far  ;D

Got half of a garage so finally a place to work on it.
I' going to stick cleaned carbs back in next week, what this space...

I'm on the look out for a bits form air box at the moment...

Any one from around? Would love to see running CB :)

hi Bomber welcome to the forum. I guess your 550 is a k3 model, the airbox is a bit different to the early ones as they have a recirculating system to keep emissions down, they turn up on ebay quite often. Good luck with your rebuild, regards Mick
