78 550 wire diagram?
« on: November 08, 2005, 01:48:36 PM »
does anyone have a wire diagram that is not from the clymers. nothing matches the clymer. I am restoring this bike and it ran fine before i took it down. now that im in the wiring stage I cant get anything to work again. turn signals and horn are working - nothing else will work.

The FAQ contains the Honda Shop Manual for CB550s.  There's a wire diagram for the 78 in the included supplements.

Try oldmanhonda.com it is a very helpful site a lot of great info. and some of the diagrams are interactive, meaning you  can add or subtract systems as needed.

Wow! I just checked out that interactive wiring diagram.  That is awesome!  I think I just figured out the electrical problem on MY 78 project!  Now fixing it...
