Hi folks!

After a couple of years enjoying my CB390 i sold it last summer to part fund a Ducati Superlight itch.

the Superlight is indeed fabulous, but i was missing the little Honda.....

so next Tuesday a project CB550/4 is being delivered !

not fully sure what the plan is yet.....

PS i have leftover CB360 parts to dispose of, including a full tripple set and rebuilt forks, both in excellent condition :)

You’ll find the 550 Honda Service and Parts manuals on the site with a search.

I still miss my 75 550F.
 
Thanks both.

bike arrives on Tuesday so first job will be to free the stuck motor and assess.

if it really is as clean and original as it appears then it would be a shame to do too much to it, certainly won’t be chopping any frame !

i’m thinking of a set of lower bars, twin disk front end, and under cover stuff like better ignition,regrec, rebuild and maybe improve suspension.

if there are any engine issues then i’ll probably go for a big bore set of pistons at rebuild time

oh and paint, i’m torn between an original Candy colour ( probably Orange) or a very modern finish eg Nardo Grey

time will tell, and as we’re locked down here in the UK i have plenty !
