78 CB550. First bike, tons of questions.
« on: September 02, 2014, 11:12:10 AM »
This is my first forum I'm part of, all the insight and knowledge is much appreciated!
I bought a 78 cb 550, had a shop rebuild the engine. They put a big bore kit in it. Progress was going slow so i thought id take over the last bit. With that, i realized i still have a lot of questions, so ill post a few.

There is no drive chain with the bike, so any help in figuring out how to purchase the correct drive chain?

The original wire harness is being used, the shop hooked up the electrical panel (with the glass fuse box) so the headlight and taillight are waiting to be wired up. Any help on color coding of the old wire harness would be a ton of help.

Thanks for any help, i can always post pictures. Thanks again!
