Box section will be a Dresda, try and Ebay search for one, you might get lucky.

Rear crash bars, takes me back a bit, no one seems to fit them anymore.

Dresda Autos are still going although I don't think Dave Degans does so much these days. He is based in Rusper, just off the A24 in Surrey and he has a website. I'm pretty sure he's still making the box section swing arms (he was for Featherbed frames anyway). He will likely still have the pattern for the CB550f if he used to make them. Always worth giving him a call, he's pretty helpful.
