I'm working on cb500k! So glad you will be supporting these!

[@Common-motor]

Of course! Drop us a line with questions if you have any over on our website.

Thanks for being another part source. Did a iBA Saddle Sore 1000 on mine.

[@mikegermain7033]

Also great video!

[@flyingfishranch8970]

Very cool!

[@kemitchell]

Stock the Dyna-S if you can. Worth every penny. Kibblewhite does valve seats that are close, but my top end guy said he had to turn them down a little. I can recommend the Delkevic exhaust system.

Thanks for the inspiration …btw when do you think is the swing arm roller bearing kit available.. right now I’m testing Bronze bushing, but consider to install the bearing kit .

Hey I have this exact bike, my fathers first :) I did a full renovation including full front brakes, carbs cleaning (did not change but cleaned deep), new spark plugs, new flashing relay new battery new lights,fixed the electric (lot of corroded parts), a lot of bullshit things (back brake spring for exemple) still need to change the back wheel axis (its weirdly loose) and engine doesnt run well. Only 1 piston fires, no carbs leaks fuel get to all carbs and they are very clean. Idk why only 1 piston fires. Bike was in bad condition,I did a month worth of work on it with 0 experience, it was fun but its getting too hard for me. Getting it to a professional real soon !

🛠🤗 great job

[@Common-motor]

Thank you!

[@Mfothergillable]

have one, it is a great bike

[@Common-motor]

Yes they are!

[@WildcatterProd]

The Insulator Boots for the intake are a different size for 1977 K. The K3 has a longer boot (just a hair over 1.5 inches). Can you help me locate a set for the 1977 CB550 K3? I beleive the original part # is 16211404000

[@jameskottinger2671]

Can any of the cb550f components be used on the cb350f?

[@Common-motor]

What are you trying to use on it would be my question.

[@Successfully_Unemployed1520]

Hi, Do you sell bike that you have done up for export to UK?

[@Razzledazzle1809]

I just got a cb 550 and the back tire is stuck even if I put the bike in neutral what can I do the right hand brake is stuck and won't pull back

[@Common-motor]

Reach out to our tech support on our website! We can always point you in the right direction.

[@mikegermain7033]

I'm trying to zoom in but can't quite see how you mounted the rectifier.

[@Common-motor]

On this bike we used zip ties but anywhere you can fit it works well. Its a bit tighter of a fit than the smaller Honda twins.
