We all know why adjustable camshaft sprockets are used in the high performance world. But, stock motor configuration motors can benefit from these also. Have you ever tried to line up the camshaft marks after any sort of motor work or checking a few things? The marks usually never line up perfectly because of many reasons. One of the main reasons on a stock motor with any miles is cam chain stretch. The cam chain is like a rear chain. It stretches. So, install these modified poor man's adjustable OEM cam chain sprockets and realign your cam timing or install your performance cam.

Cycle X 500/550 Adaptors

Here is what we have been working on!
First...the problems...

Father time is catching up with many stock components and it makes life difficult for vintage mechanics and enthusiasts.
Honda cb500 and cb550's carburetors have their own challenges to overcome at times.

Brief examples:
No room for individual air pods. Jetting stock carbs for pods or stacks can be time consuming. CR special carburetors still have a pod clearance problem.

Our Cycle X intake system features a straight, direct shot for the intake charge and will be available with 2 carburetor versions.
#1 version will have our intake manifold with 26mm CR special carburetors (bigger carbs available for you racing folks).
#2 version will have the high-performance carbs shown in the photos.

Cycle X direct shot intake adaptor.
(4) carburetor mounting rubbers and hardware.

Honda CB 500, 550, 750 owners have been limited to Dynosaur Ignition systems for years. (magnetic type sensors)
and Ignition Coils that were designed in the 19th Century.
Here is the bad news!
Magnetic sensors can cause timing to be off as much as 14 degrees. (plus or minus ± 7°)
(Magnets and Magnetic sensors are effected by metal mass, motion, heat and distance from pickup)
The illustration below shows the inconsistency of Magnetic sensors. 
This unwanted fluctuation in ignition timing will make your motor unhappy and give you the
impression the motor is not internally balanced properly. 
  
The coils (paper wrapped)  is considered to be early 1900's technology.
This Ignition causes coils develop excessive heat and are prone to failure, due to lack of dwell control leaving the coils on excessively.
Leaving the ignition switch on can cause failure to the coils or the Dyna "S" or both.
Our ignitions have an automatic shut-off coil shut off to prevent such heat and failure.
Dyna 2000's claim to have an coil-off situation, but the minute the motor is turned over they stay on and key must be shut off if engine is killed.  
Ever wonder why most racers carry extra sets of coils?

Cycle X 500/550 Complete Head Gasket Set

Question:
Who makes the best complete gasket sets for Honda CB500s?

We feel 99% of the gaskets are adequate except for the head gasket.
Our tests show, most conventional head gaskets can and will compress up to .015 after a short period of time. If the head nuts are re-torqued, in time...weepage can result.
So here's what we did!
We included a MLS head gasket with a conventional gasket set to cure the above mentioned problem (no re-torqueing needed).
MLS head gaskets for Honda cb750, 500 and 550 inline fours were funded, tested and introduced to the public by Cycle X.

Note: Head gaskets are offered in 59mm, 61mm, and 62mm bore sizes (.030 and .040 thickness) 59mm (.030) and 61mm (.040) temporarily out of stock.

Cycle X 520 Front Sprocket Only This front sprocket for a 520 chain comes in your choice of 17 or 19 teeth. Fits Honda CB500/CB550.   CS-0000      $39.00 Choose # of Teeth 17 Tooth 19 Tooth

19 Tooth Front Sprocket Industry first. Honda cb750 19 tooth front sprocket. Currently the largest front sprocket available is 18 tooth. Why 19 tooth? Some people use Harley wheels on their custom projects. Harley sprockets generally use 48-51 teeth which makes Honda rev a bit on the highway. 19 tooth front sprockets will cure this ratio problem. Also, these sprockets were developed for our Honda trikes for the above mentioned ratio fix. Best part, they're inexpensive! Fits your 530 chain, years 69'-78'. Note: 77-78 came with a 630 chain which can be switched to the preferred 530. CS-005      $39.95
