Yes, the two big nuts (one on the top of each leg), not the pinch bolts.

Does anyone have a pair of (chrome) front fork top bolts for a CB500 K1 they can sell me please?
I am refurbishing a 1972 bike, but the top fork bolts are pitted, so I am looking to replace them.

Yes, you are correct. The part number is 35315-235-000 and it comes as one part as shown in the attached picture (taken form the Internet).

David Silver has the complete unit, but it seems a lot to spend for just the small button that fits on the end of the high/low beam switch lever.
Perhaps someone has a scrap unit lying around, from which they can remove the button and sell it to me.

Does anyone have the small button that operates the low/high beam on the right hand handlebar switchgear please?
The main unit is OK - just missing the small button.
Thanks in anticipation.

I think the penny has dropped.
So the sprocket goes on first, followed by the plate, which when tightened down, is forced against the spline to hold it in place.
Thanks guys, Ill try it tomorrow.

I still don't see how the plate keeps the sprocket in place, if the plate only bolts onto the sprocket and nothing else.
When the plate is bolted to the sprocket, I can slide both items onto the drive shaft, but there is nothing to hold the sprocket in place (only the chain).
I will take another look at it tomorrow and see if I can figure it out.

Trigger
There is a plate that bolts on to the sprocket, but nothing to hold the sprocket in place.
It would appear that the plate is to stop the sprocket from moving in towards the gearbox, but there is nothing to stop the sprocket from moving outwards, apart from the motion of the chain.

I’m currently stripping a 1972 CB500 and because the chain had no split link, I removed the swinging arm to remove the chain.
In doing this, I noticed that the front drive sprocket could be slid off the drive shaft without undoing any bolts or retaining screws.
Is this normal, or should there be something to hold the sprocket in place please?

I put one on my CB500 in 1974 - it looked great with a large alloy tank and straight handlebars.
I also put one on my CB550 this year. The brackets were easy to make out of aluminium strip connected to the headlamp bolts and mirror fixings. These are for 7" headlamps though.

Back in '74 I took my first (new) Honda 500 four back to the shop as it appeared to lack power after being used to 650 Norton twins.
The shop owner asked if he could take it for a spin, to which I agreed.
Well I thought he was going to blow it up as he revved it like hell through the gears.
'Nothing wrong with that' he told me on his return.
'It's not a Norton' he told me 'you have to red line it through the gears - that's where the power is'.
Once I got used to the red-lining bit, I was hooked, and have been ever since.
