Cb550 K3 Wiring Project
« on: September 01, 2011, 11:14:31 AM »
Hello everyone, I have a 1977 CB550 K3.  Unfortunately the current harness has some shorts and burnt wires.  I have been looking for a replacement but was wondering if I can expand my search to beyond the exact year and model.  I will be running aftermarket turn signals, electric start, hondaman ignition, oregon reg/rect. The bike is currently a mix of other years, so by no means will this be an all original bike.  Currently the frame is a 1977 CB550K3, engine is a 1976 CB550F, carbs 087A, hand controls are from another cb550. 

I have been studying the different cb550 wiring diagrams that I could find to see if I can use one from a different year, would love to hear if I can use something besides a k3 harness.  Also if you have a specific diagram for the 1977 k3, I would be extremely thankful.  The diagrams I have found seem to be for k1 & k2

Here is a video of the current harness.


and some photos, because what is a post without photos.
