Nice purchase. I believe eBay.co.uk will be your best bet. I ran a quick search and there were a decent number of cb550 parts for sale. Best if luck! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Hey folks. Well I haven't been keeping up with posts lately so here is a shotgun of pictures with the latest..... Wheel bearings.... I also installed to fork seals. New rubber bands. So here is the latest mock. Stock handle bars upsidedown just for fun :) I'll be throwing on some...

Cam chain finally showed up! Apparently this is a chain for a little scooter, thus the long length. It is the right size however and includes the master link. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
