Can’t find the part anywhere, if I can’t find will 3D print one, please save me the hassle fellas. Here is the part num: 37220390003 and deets #13: https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb550k-1978-usa_model7222/lockfiller-lid_37220390003/#.WohvDmJOmEc Thanks!

Thanks. Yeah your lucky you still have the fin, I'd cake on a bunch above and below if your going to use as an adhesive. Then smooth over with wet fingers if you can get in there, a knife if not. Then roll some sandpaper and form it after about 30 min. If you want to form it entirely, you can...

Sometimes it's best to just replace it like I did with QuickSteel You'll need paint though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! Glad I help contribute to this feat, looks sweet! Is that a 19" wheel?? What's the plans for the rotors? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My remote machinist will handle 2 bushings and 2 spacers for ya for $20! I should have asked him to mine originally, I paid 4 times that at my local spot. @diyordie PM me and I'll make it happen, he has the measurements and can get to it late next week when I give him the go ahead. Let me know...

Yeah perfectly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't really handle it for ya, but you can contact the guys that did it for me and see if they will ship. The shop is local to me in Brooklyn, called Yanes Machine Shop http://www.yanesmachineshop.com/ Do great work, have a reasonable minimum, hard to talk to and reach on the phone, easier if...

The axel parts from right to left (sitting on the bike) are as follows: (OD × ID × L) A) Narrow Bushing 24.9mm × 14.9mm × 53mm B) Long Spacer 22mm × 14.9mm × 18mm w) Wheel Bearing w) Wheel Bearing C) Short Spacer 22mm × 14.9mm × 14.5mm D) Wide Bushing 31.9mm × 14.9mm ×...

What I did was grab this axle: https://www.ebay.com/itm/222195322827 And machined a left bushing, right bushing, left spacer, and right spacer. Looking at your diagrams I see that you've done your measurements, but if you want I can send you the ODxIDxL of each. Note that no two are alike...

My calipers used 310mm, his could be 320... Yeah, long shim/extenders could be the only only way to get comstars to work IMO, why I didn't do it was because the rotors would have to be enormous and was worried the shimmed extensions would make the mount less sturdy. Plus machining 4 extra long...

Well the main issue with comstars is the radial calipers clearing the sheet steel, it doesn't even come close to clearing and you can't shim radial mount calipers longitudinally like you can standard mount calipers. Unless for some reason the comstars you found don't angle out as far toward the...

Wish I saw this post earlier could have helped. I didn't read all pages so excuse me if I'm repeating something. I have a '81 CB750C that I put GSXR forks on. I too wanted to keep the comstars or a mag like wheel too. Mainly because of size and I don't like the look of GSXR wheels on a CB. When...

Guys it's been a very long time since I've ridden the 500. The last time I rode it, it stopped switching gears entirely, which was the last straw to completely rebuild the bike from top to bottom. I literally rode her hard daily year round for 5 years and she deserves a makeover. This post was...

I didn't know about a galley port other than the oil switch? I'll look into it! It's strange that my manual wants us to check at the switch port.. Hopefully I can use the banjo bolt and guage somewhere, and if I find the port under the alt cover, I'll work on building a permanent one. Thanks

Interesting! Thanks for the links. Would this banjo bolt fit in the oil switch port and provide a the port to use an aftermarket guage, like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pro-67405
