Subject: 1975 Honda CB500 questions

Hey all, I recently bought a 1975 Honda CB"550" but found out the motor had been swapped for a 500. I don't know how to find my engine's year to order parts(which I need quite a few of)

Also, I was wondering if any of you had advice on these problems:

* First gear is a bit iffy(jumping and dumping): Possibly a bent shift fork? maybe missing some teeth on the gear itself?

* Blowing master fuses quite frequently

* Not acheiving maximum rpms.

* Broken bolt port where header bolts screws into head at the exhaust port.

* Speedo/odometer/trip counter not working.

Thanks alot for any advice, I plan on turning this hunk into a respectable scooter someday (Hopefully a bitchin cafe!!)
