Thanks Johnny,
I'll give it a try - I was just out on the 550 today and wanted to post a bit about the trip.

Ian, I had exactly the same problem, I posted on here maybe about 3 to 4 weeks ago. The easiest way I found round it was to screen shot the pics and post the screen shot, there was quite a few suggestions on here to get round it too. Annoying!😡

A bit of a head scratcher - not trying do doubt your ability - are you sure when you fitted  the main shells in the correct  main bearing positions as number 1 main is then on your right when inverted.

Hi folks,
I've been using the picture resizing facility when posting but it seems to have disappeared now.  I usually take pics with iphone or ipad which are often over the 3Mb limit and in the past you were able to choose a smaller size after you had selected the desired image.  Is there an easy way around this?

Yes you do Steve. They are dust seals and they also have a rubber seal on the inside to keep the swing arm grease in.

I have a set of the bronze bushes from Julie I’m about to install.
Do I still need the caps, item 15 in the picture?

Does the crank have that free movement feel if you make a very small rocking action with the crank?

Do you have any doubts that the crankcase halves were a factory pair?

I will check for end float.

Pretty sure halves original
