CB550
« on: October 11, 2012, 12:03:39 PM »
Hello folks.

I have aquired a Honda cb550 K3 in bits which I am currently assembling.

The short clutch operating rod is missing which has brought things to a halt.

I have a couple of spare clutch push rods from other projects from which I could manufacture a temporary solution just to get the motor running.

Does anyone have one of these lying loose and if so could you give me an accurate measure of end to end length.

Many thanks

Johnnie Stewart

In the how-to section you'll find detailed info on how-to ;D make one.
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.

I think the one in How tos is for a 500 Killer.
The part is discontinued, however maybe you'll find one somewhere. P# 22850-333-000

I should pay more attention to what I'm reading :-\
