77 CB550K Aggie out of DFW, TX
« on: April 09, 2007, 10:59:56 AM »
Hey Guys,
I just picked up a '77 CB550K
It is my starter bike and second motorcycle to own.  It currently doesn't run.  2&3 don't spark.  Replacing the plugs because they look a little fouled and then moving on to either buying coils GL1100 or figuring out how to adapt my own wires into the coil.  I have read up on it just not very clear on exactly how it is done.   If anybody is in the DFW I would love to get together and possible have some help to get her up and running.  Great to find this board.

Ok one thing I am having difficulty finding.  Where can I pick up an oil filter and air filter for my bike?  Can I get them from autozone or the like?  Anybody have part numbers?

The filters are available at most any honda shop as they are used on heaps of models.

Should you wish to save a few bucks...order them.

Where to get parts is here in the FAQ section:

Take a few minutes and surf some of the vendors from there.

Lots of nifty neato stuff...including filters.
