You're the man! - I will definitely try to get that template done soon, will PM you - thanks!

Ah, thanks for shedding light on that! My right leg thanks you. I'm trying to heat shield a bend and so far haven't found any good solutions. Heat shields are straight, and exhaust wrap has its whole list of negatives...

I saw this cool heat shield where it looks like a metal spring or coil is wrapped around just the curve on a header. This is exactly what I want to do with my bike, was just wondering if anyone knows anything about it ie. what to use, is it DIYable, etc. Example is on this video...

I have both if you want to pay shipping from 08108 + $5 handling?

Got it, thanks for the rescue Rich Ard!

The crazy thing is, the parts aren't listed on the diagram with numbers, just as part of the carb body. I've drawn arrows to the shafts I'm referring to on the Keihin 723A carbs. Not sure what other bikes had these carbs on them. The part number for the whole carbs are: 16101-346-690 (Right)...

I have a 78 550K frame with no title, located in NJ. PM if interested.

I have a non-titled 78 550K rolling case, I'll strip it down and send it to you if you want to pay the postage from NJ...

So I've been chasing down this phantom high idle that some others have had a problem with for...oh I dunno about a YEAR now. After hours and dollars wasted I seem to have found one/the cause of the high idle. When I first cleaned my carbs they were dipped pretty much whole into Berrymans...

Hi - I've got everything but the lower brake lines, master and caliper. So basically the arm/mounting stuff and light switch. Off of a 78 550. If you want them let me know I'll send pics.

The jets are stock jets from what I understand, they have the little keihin logo stamped on them. The valves are set to .002" theres no way in hell I could get them to factory spec anyway. OK so I have dipped the dome and slide in Berryman's for about an hour and left it on the dryer to...

I set the timing using a static light and the marks line up to where it says on the manual. I do have a strobe somewhere but not sure how to use it without spraying oil everywhere. For air filters I'm using the Uni "sock" type...

Float bowl was checked and set to manual spec. I used a credit card cutout guide made with a caliper, so its pretty damn close. I haven't checked the manifold gasket yet, will do that next. Is there a general torque for these, I can't seem to find them in my manual and I read somewhere over...

Got a 74 CB450 that idles high in neutral and in between gears. Starts up in a good idle but then when revved it doesn't drop, and steadily rises up to 4K. Things I've tried: - lubed and checked throttle cable routing - checked throttle butterflys for centering issues - tightened up advancer...

74 CB450 from Collingswood. Anyone know a good mechanic in the area? Got an idle problem, if you stop by and fix it I will pay you in beer or 550 parts!

Hi I've got a CB450 and am in the process of getting the brakes sorted. It seems no matter how hard I tighten the bleeder screw, fluid still comes out the top hole. The threads are all good, nothing stripped, correct size bleeder. Am I missing an O-Ring or something thats not on the parts...

Got it, thanks for the hook up Nick!

Hi guys, Really in need of 1974 CB450 or 500 compatible brake caliper with 8mm bleeder screw because my bleeder valve is stripped. This is the last piece I need to ride! Please help. Thanks.
