Ok thanks. Ill give that a try before buying a brand new battery again. Ill report my findings after. Thanks again!

I guess you are right, I should never dismiss anything lol. It's worth a shot to try a new battery. As for connecting it to a car battery, would a full size truck battery be ok? Or too much? And can I do that with the battery out of the vehicle or best to leave it connected to the truck? Thanks.

Thanks for responding, but as I mentioned in the original post (sorry, yes I know it was a bit long and over explaining, lol), I have tried 2 batteries. The one that was in the bike when the problem first happened was less than a year old Bikemaster Trugel battery. I had no issues with the...

Thanks for the info, but the integrated unit is meant for SOHC 500's and 550's. It is manufactured by Rick's. And it has worked for the better part of a year with no issues before. And all the connections were direct connections of the original equipment. Not sure if that means anything, but...

Hey guys! I'm getting some weird electrical issues with my 76 CB550. With a fully charged battery connected, and the ignition off, I get a normal (12.5 or so) voltage reading. When I switch the key to on, the voltage drops to about 9v and will keep dropping. When I flip the key back to off...

Yea, you are right, it's worth doing that just to see where its coming from.. I should also probably check with the shop I was speaking with and see if the price they quoted (around about price) is for just the top end, or actually splitting the case. And if Im not mistaking, they should be...

Thank you for your input. I can't be sure whether the leak is coming from the shifter arm or not, I want to say it's one of those black round seals above it, but can't be certain especially because its been a little while since I've taken a look. To my knowledge, no one has put an O ring chain...

Hello everyone! I have a 1976 Honda CB550K2 with about 40,000 miles on it. The bike runs fine, but has started to develop a small oil leak towards the end of the riding season from one of the seals behind the side chain cover. Being that it is winter time in NJ and averaging about 20 degrees...

First time checking in on the build in a long time, all I have to say is "WOW" man! I have missed A LOT apparently.. a Fuelie 550. DAMN! Love it man, awesome work! :)

HAHA! well at least I know Im not the only one. Thank you for the info, I will definitely check it out. My next idea was to check the voltage coming directly from the stator to see if that the issue.. YYAAAAAA ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS!!!! WOOHOO.. ::)

Thanks man. I'll try taking a reading at 3K.

Hello everyone, My bike seems to have a charging issue at low idle. Here are my voltage numbers: -Bike off, battery connected to bike - 12.4V (which I believe is normal) Although there does seem to be a bit of parasitic draw that I have to figure out -Bike running at idle, around 1,100 RPM -...

Hey man I know this post was from awhile ago, but I have a similar set up on stock jet sizes. How did the 38 pilot and 115 mains work out for you?

Nice job guys. Good looking bikes! Nice to see some different style bikes.

Submitted. Hard choice, great work to all 3! Best of luck!

Hey man. Just curious if you were able to see from your buddy what company Clubmans did he have on his bike?

Yea, thats all I can say too.. Damn! One day I wish to have a collection half as cool.

Lucky man, I wish I could get a set up like that. I didn't get to the rear yet, I bought a tool for the front hub. I got it off of ebay from someone in the UK, but they did have the same tool for the rear.

Got the hub apart yesterday. I finally was smart enough to drill out those little locking-punch marks. Also ordered a tool and a new retainer ring, much easier with the right tools and know-how lol. Got the new bearings and retainer ring in, masked up and ready for painting. Get it laced up to...

Congrats Texasstar & Zeke!
