You can buy the pivot pins in stainless as well Ted, might as well complete the look. Plus it stops them rusting.
I can't PM you as you are blocked for messages from members.
Do you have a source for the correct SS front foot rest pivot pins please?
A link would be good.
Thanks in advance Ted
Hey Ted,
I used these and they were spot on even though they were cheap, see what you think mate....

Flake Sunrise Orange. I've got a NOS side panel for a 550F in that colour. Code is R-2C-F.
It's extremely metallic with big flakes in the paint.
Is that the same colour that I think NJ has her bike in? (just twigged I could have asked her!) DOH!  Bryan, is the tank you have the one with the petrol cap flap on? I've seen so many bikes with so many swapped tanks with this on and that on and with this being a new project for me this year and I'm not tuned in yet to the shapes, silhouettes and details yet? If it is, what sort of money would you like for it as I've not really investigated this one yet to see what the yellow filler primer is hiding. I bought it and stuffed her in the back of the shed to jump straight onto once the 400 was done. I'm waiting for the tank to come back from the painters just now but using the time to gather bits for the project and finish off bits n bobs and shell be done. I've managed to keep The Long Haired General away from it for about three weeks but she did hear me fire her up for the first time since the rebuild the other day which brought much excitement and hassling  I'm hoping to have her done and finished for the end of October ready for her birthday, shes had a rough year and this is hopefully going to be the start of good times for her. Shes going crazy with excitement, I love it! AND, its meant me sly-ing out of the washing up for ages .........Winning! Cheers fella's

Hi all, would anyone happen to know what the paint code is for that really nice orange that honda did? Its probably been covered before but I'd like to start a tank for the 550 and after much discussion about colours; she likes the orange, I like the light blue. Couldn't come up with an agreement So,..... we had a good long chat about it, a fair compromise was met........ and its orange!  I think it might even be metal flake or similar, I've only seen it in mags or on the net and presume it's a honda colour and I'm not going mad looking at a respray or similar? NB: I quite like the orange anyway but don't tell her!

I've used this chap's videos, to be fair, he's not bad and lets face it, you cant cover everything and go into every detail. On the whole, he's a passionate, 'shed fettler' like a great deal of us on here and putting his findings out for all to see and learn from. good man. He was quite useful when I was 'putting together' if your not sure, rewind, rewatch, rewind, rewatch and you very soon become proficient. If it wasn't for these guys some of us would be completely knackered. Gotta love the internet as much as it annoys, its fantastic for the amateur bike fiddler like me.

I have exactly the same situation. Did the fix work?
Yeah, seemed to although the bikes not on the road yet but everything checks out. I re soldered the connections in the shell and made sure the bottom nut was tight before winding on the top half nut. Think that was the issue I think. Its a bit fiddly but seems a good repair.

The forum is a wonderful place full of expert knowledge, Like Ted said, don't be afraid to ask, everyone's so helpful. All the best Roo

Hiya Richard, Great forum with some top folk on here, the level of knowledge and detail on here is simply incredible. Have fun, enjoy and dont think twice about asking questions, everyone is super helpful and at the end of the day its all about keeping these old girls on the road and to be enjoyed. A Fazer 600 I had one some years ago and thought it one of the best, 'fun bikes' I've ever had. It was a parts hauler for a yamaha garage I worked at that at the time. I inherited for a year to go too and from work on in the winter and general bobbing about on. I loved the fact that it was so light compared to my VFR, ZX7 and the 748 i had at the time, it was like riding a BMX everywhere and sadly made me ride like a bit of a d*ck having too much fun on the twisties on the 9 mile to and from work section I rode every day, (twice )and after the first 6 months I thought I'd be better off giving it back and that I wasn't Wayne Rainey after all. What a hoot though All the best
