surffly, very good point, right now im not motivated enough to pull it apart, got others to put back together first, ha! When the time comes ill have to see what cam is already in it, the 650 cam has lobes only around the 1mm mark larger than the 550 cam as well.

In the Service Manual, in the maintenance section, it skips from page 6 to page 9, does anyone know where to find the missing pages? pages 7 and 8?

Hey guys, I went to pick up a cb550 the other day. When I got there it turned out to be a cb500 frame with a bored out (not sure what to) cb550 engine, with cb750 carbs. What the?!? So I went ahead and bought it, it was only $500 so I figured why not. I have a spare cb650 cam I bought for...

Ah I see, I recently moved out of BASE jumping, over here in Michigan all there really are are towers. I thought there mayhave been a fellow jumper on here :) Nice pic either way

Those things have helped me more than anything!! Hey Frogman, whats with your profile picture?? Sport or work?

Ok, so I think I just found the answer to my problem, if anyone else is ever in the same spot as me, heres the fische that im using: http://images.cmsnl.com/img/partslists/honda-cb550k3-four-1977-usa-cylinder-head-cover_bighu0056e4301_c317.gif Hope it helps :)

Ok, so in all my wisdom and expertise, when I was removing the head off my 1976 Honda CB550 engine, instead of putting the bolts back in the holes where they belong, I decide to just throw them all in a container, just for a bit more of a challenge when it came to putting it back together...

Ay, yes, im with you, sorry, my bad. ill get my tank done, run it and out and update on the 4-cell holds up.

Yeah the indicators aren't much of a worry, its the headlight that has me worried. Even if it does have the cranking amps to kick it over, im not sure if there will be too much power for the 4-cell.

Just for a point of reference, our Asian sweatshop friends produce some headlights for under $20. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Motorcycle-Black-5-30-Led-Headlight-For-Harley-Honda-Yamaha-Suzuki-/251502243198?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a8eb3ad7e&vxp=mtr But where would all...

ooooh, that battery looks like it had a hard life. Now, when you say it should work, are you saying it should with the LED's, or do you think it should work even without the LED's? FYI: Led indicators are $14 shipped on ebay and that includes the LED relay, I don't think it could get any...

I was wondering if the alternator wouldn't pull enough and would drain the tiny battery as I ride. Too be honest, I haven't looked a whole lot into the headlight yet, only the indicators, but I figured the headlight ould be pulling a bit of power so if I could eliminate that, or at least reduce...
