he never did buy the hub.

do you still need any or all of the "whole works"? lets discuss via message or email

how about $30 plus flatrate usps shipping (in the smallest box in which this will fit with packing/padding). via paypal.

I sold the (rather crummy) caliper and piston already. Also don't have the front brake inline pressure switch. I still have for sale: --the good master cyl/right switch/throttle combo with throttle cables and brake lever and wires -- very good rotor -- wheel bolts that hold rotor on -- all...

bump. Sold the airbox and plenum Sold the pistons/rings. UPDATED list ( i am really trying to clear this stuff out but somehow more of it keeps finding its way to me). bent Frame from '77 is clean title - california, has neck bend back and with some twist from slightly off angle head on...

I have this frame from a '77. It has been powdercoated and clear title in my name. I am pretty sure the frame is bent. It can be straightened by various services that do this sort of thing. I also have the original bottom end (rods on down, clutch trans etc) that came with this frame from japan...

anyone done this? How did it go? Also - they say the usually leaky oem o-rings on the cb550s that always need replacing on a top end job are not needed with their gasket (they have "bosses" = built up areas of the head gasket where the orings would go). Wondering if anyone has had good luck...

Dual bung, hand made in India, ordered for a bike I restored/built for a friend but he ended up choosing to go with more stock/traditional look so I am now helping him sell this off for his cost. It's nice at 5+ feet distance (eyesight dependent)... It is not perfect like the ones made in the...

LOTS of parts. Whaddya need? ALL from the bike pictured here in the first pic. ENGINE: Pretty much entire engine... bottom end plus Cyl block, head, camshaft, clutch pack and cover, left side cover, Valve cover (from earlier model - not "pinned"). Restorable OEM exhaust (rust on bottom of...

I Need a cb650 Carb body pd50b, #4 Bought a rack of these carbs. Pilot screw was frozen.cross-threaded by PO. USPS finished the 'job' by smashing that same carb in shipping (not helped by totally shitty "packing" job. :-( So now I have three great ready to go carburetors for a 4cyl motorcycle...

In perfectly usable shape ... with the usual rust and stuff that is easily cleaned off. I would say these are like 7 outta 10. You could remove the rust, paint the bodies etc and they'd look quite fine.

did you sell it? If not, pix please? (PM sent).

I've tried rearsets back there. And I am 5'8" and I hated it. I felt like I was trying to be Rollie Free (although with pants on). What worked better was to get a set of mountain bike stems and bolt those on the down tube just in front of the rear passenger peg mounts. I then fit, drilled and...

have you ever fabbed up a pair to mate with a 77/78 cb550k frame (the one with the weird lower 19mm frame tube section connecting the passenger peg mounts?

Hi: How about the seat pan (I don't need the seat cover or what is likely to be completely terrible bug infested foam -- as it was on my cb500). Just need a clean/straight stock metal pan and hinge and spring-dick-latch part.
