Thanks for your help in identifying it, much appreciated.

finally got it in my garage and had a good look at it.  :)

engine number is cb550e - 1150295. rolling chassis is in not too bad condition, all components of engine seem to be there apart from a leaf spring from carbs. talked to who i got it off and it was stripped down to replace cam chain(which is done) and never put back together. first used in approx 1978 and  last used in 2000.

just one problem is that it hasnt been declared sorn for the last 7 years. will have to speak to dvla to see if gonna be a problem. ???

thanks for the info :) wouldnt have picked this bike to do first but got it for next to nothing so got nothing to lose. im a fitter by trade with a modern suzuki and want something to tinker with with.

not really concerned about doing a total identical renovation, just more of getting back to good condition and a few little improvements.

for my first one anyway ;)

the fella i have got it from works away for a month or so at a time so as soon as he comes back i will have the paperwork. the plate that is on it is irish reg or private so not date related. ???

cheers for your help and does anyone have an opinion on this model. is it worth keeping hold of for a bit. my plan i think is to put it all back together , get it running and stopping then decide whether to strip back down and restore. any thoughts?

Hello Mark and welcome.

Could you give the complete chassis number with the prefix please?

Is it CB550F - 2111153

Can you also give the engine number with prefix?




thats right mate CB550f - 2111153 for the frame, but the engine is all in bits at the back of the garage and havent had the chance to excavate that far back. ;D

Hi there, newbie to the site.

ive just acquired a Honda CB550f from a relative. Its a complete rolling chassis with the engine stripped down and in bits. Number on chassis is 2111153.

Would any one be able to give me some info on year built, what model and general opinion on Classic status?

Only just starting to get into older/vintage machines and any help would be appreciated.

Japanese Bikes / CB550F ENGINE REBUILD
« on: October 09, 2007, 05:56:54 PM »
gonna start rebuilding the engine on my late 70's cb550f. pretty confident in how to do it but does anyone know where i can get a detailed stage by stage instruction or manual so i dont miss anything?

preferably free from a website ;)

also, the bike was stored in a garage and hasnt been taxed or sorn'd since 2000. now i need to contact the dvla about applying for lost logbook but am i gonna be interrogated about the bikes history or gonna be responsible for the last 7 years of its life?
