my little cb550
« on: January 13, 2008, 09:12:33 AM »
hi everyone,

thanks for havingme I promise not to give the club a bad
name and not to use those smiley faces.

this is my '75 Honda CB550.
I could use a little help finishing it.
does anyone know where I can find a stator cover.
i have looked everywhere (in the wrong places of course)
I just want the plate (that has the honda logo on it) that screws into the
three holes of the larger cover.  maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing when I google it.
but that's the stator cover right?  I must be losing my mind.

thanks,

brad

Hey there and welcome.

for finding missing parts, look up the part name at http://www.cmsnl.com/ then post a request for used parts on http://www.riderparts.com/.  I've used this service several times with good luck.  Basically, you submit your request and they mail it out to a network of salvage yards who then email you back with their price.

Welcome.

So how about some pics of your bike.  Is that it in your avatar?  There's a 500/550 owners thread which would be an appropriate place to post pics.  -Or here. 

And what's wrong with smiley faces?  ;D ;D ;D
