Hello folks , My name is Dave and I hail from England (UK)
I am 71 years old and have imported a Honda CB550k1 from the states to the UK . Lots of parts were missing on arrival either by the last owner , or the importer ( these parts can make big money on ebay , I guess )
Up and running now , Road safety test last week (MOT) and now awaiting a uk registration .
The restoration begins this winter . Looking forward to a good forum .
Dave.

welcome to the forums. I think the '75 had a one year only petcock if I recall correctly.

What parts were missing? Did you seek some kind of recourse?

Thank you all for the welcome .
Jakec:No recourse unfortunately as it was bought "sold as seen" .
Mostly electrical stuff , headlamp , indicators , some handlebar switchgear .
See if I can post a before / after  photo .
