Oil Filter Bolt Question....I know, I know
« on: September 16, 2009, 06:42:21 AM »
Yes, my bolt is stripped to hell. Don't worry, I'll get it off. My question is about the replacement. I see filter bolts all over ebay for about $10. Last night I see one that lists compatibility with almost every 70's cb on earth except for a 1975 cb550. Will it fit, or do I need a special bolt? 76, and 77's were both on the list.

I thought this one fit all of them:

I bought it for my 500 and Z1 says it will fit your bike too.  It's an improvement over OEM because the head size is bigger, less likely to round off.  Also, an OEM bolt is over $40 according to my HOnda dealer.

Man some people must seriously crank on those bolts! They do wear though after a few hundred changes though I suppose.

Yeah, that bolt is kinda like the one I have on my 750 except it has a huge 27mm head.
