CB550 Electric Start Plug
« on: October 26, 2017, 04:26:49 AM »
I've finally started the engine rebuild on my project and one of the parts I am going to need is a plug for the hole where the electric starter would sit (going kick only). I've seen reference to a few members who make and sell these but can't find any actual points of contact or prices. If anyone is still doing these I would be keen to pick one up.


Thanks

I like the freeze plug method. Someone mentions RTVing a plug in, don't do that.

Check this one out. Low tech, but 1 out of 1 motorcyclists approve this method.
