I am not sure if I am lucky or have taken on a nightmare project......

I have a 1975 CB550T twin....  (in many boxes...!!!!)

so my question to you folks.....
 
-what have I taken on..
-how about parts..

and .... I hope to find a workshop manual....(I have spent many hours looking..) any folks out there with one.

many thanks.....

If you mean the 500T, here's the manual: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.4shared.com%2Fdownload%2FNIUEbqwm%2FHonda_CB500T_CB500_CB_500_Twin.pdf

I tend towards http://www.partzilla.com for parts.

As far as assistance, you need only ask. Being a twin and not a true in line four, don't be surprised if your post gets moved to the "other bikes" thread. I'd recommend starting a project thread to document your work and give you a central place to post questions.

Good Luck!

To my knowledge Honda didn't make a 550 twin.

many thanks..... all the info I can get is most welcome....

the owners manual is most welcome.. however I req the workshop manual as the motor was broken down some years ago and is in two boxes....

Welcome to the forum!

First things first, let's figure out exactly what bike you have.  Since there isn't a 1975 550 Honda Twin, is yours a 4 cylinder 550 or a 2 cylinder 500?  Or possibly a 2 cylinder 450?  What does it say on the VIN plate on the right side of the steering neck?

Ahhh yes.... silly me...

1975 CB500T Twin..

now that may help with finding some info....

as Gordon said, start thread in project shop, this will keep things in one place but you will still get plenty of help.
