I'm going to refresh this topic. Got new bushings supplied by PO with bike, but they are too small (OD) so I can just push them inside swingarm by thumb, morever have play over the brand new collar. Can someone recommend where I should buy proven quality? Is it still from twowheelsfrank from Germany? https://www.ebay.de/itm/132265500481?ul_noapp=true

I can share my experience form K7 750
I rebuilt MC and Caliper, put new EBC organic pads. It took approx 500 miles when it started to brake better.
And of course it was squealing badly... I put on back side of left pad anti-squeal tape that helped significantly but did not stop it completely.
DSS claims has genuine Honda pads, I ordered one set, will try them. Just hope they are better than those organic from EBC

OK, so I'll first look what hub I have and start looking to buy some drive for modification on ebay

This is very good reference & detailed description, thanks for sharing it!
Wondering what hub type I'll find on my 550K1.
Additionally, is there some source (ideally EU) to obtain modified or machined speedo gearbox retainer that is ready to go? I'd like to keep original parts untouched in box, don't want to modify.

As non natural english speaker I do not understand "as long as you have the hub with milled flats on the raised bit of hub."
Any photo available that can explainit?

Thinking about dual disc setup too, both on my 550K1 and 750K7
Can you recommend somebody who makes/sells modified speedo drive?
Note: I suppose stock bolts can be used to fit 2 discs? Or do I need to replace them too?

You are never going to overcome initial sticktion whatever seals you fit
Well reading what Hondaman says in his book and also on us sohc forum, this issue is known and possible to eliminate: "#7. Use teflon-mixed oil in the front forks. Get teflon-coated seals that are slighty shorter in length (1/4" instead of the stock 5/16" to 3/8" thick stock units). These will "float" up and down slightly between the top of the fork retainer and the upper C-clip, which makes them seal better and respond to minor road irregularities MUCH better. Install the optional steel washer ABOVE the seal (good kits include these washers). Drill and tap the fork caps and install threaded Shraeder-type air valves (found at tires stores, used on mags), one in each fork. Run about 5-10 PSI pressure if riding single, 15-20 if carrying heavy loads."whole text is here: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,7401.msg67258.html#msg67258Note: I found this info on forum after I started to investigate my issue, not wise versa... Unfortunately I did not have possibility to test how forks on CB550K1 behaves vs CB750K7, but suspect it is the same.

You must have very good roads for it to be of concern. Our roads are that bad now the forks never get chance to stop moving for the seals to stick. 
Wish this to be truth!  But certainly it is not... honestly, I'm suffereing a lot from this "initial" sticktion on my K7 750. I did test last summer - as I have no rubber boots on my K7 750 but only dust caps, I put plastic ty-rap (cable tie) on my fork, started to ride, when reached speed apprx 50mph, by hand I moved it down to touch dust cap. Then during riding, during I did approx 5km(!) I was checking its position - I did not move a mm!!! Of course during this ride I felt all small bumps & irrgularities in handlebars... maybe this is somethig specific to my K7 (no idea what kind brand of seals there are), oil has correct volume, 10W spec. So as I'm preparing to rebuild forks on my CB550K1 I want to use seals with lowest friction to minimise this effect.

I know.... that's why I wanted if someone has experience with them, how they perform in therm of friction / sensitivity on small bumps

Does anybody have experience with oil seals form AllBalls? It is kit 55-108 : https://www.allballsracing.com/55-108.htmlI'm looking for seals that has lowest possible friction to maximise sensitivity of fork. Anyone who has them? Experience? Note: I have low sensitivity from fork on my CB750K7 (seals are the same as on 550), I'm suffering from seals having too much friction and as consequence, fork does not react on small road irregularities, I feel all of them on handlebars. Also Hondaman confirmed this issue and recommend to search for low friction seals. Unfortunately I was unable to fing any with silicon...

so, now I'm really confused or don't understand English humor

I think he means the sprocket carrier from the wheel hub. It just pulls out it will be stuck on the drive rubbers. Bolt your sprocket back on and pull on that.
Well I think that's what he means.
Exactly! So, I don't need to remove bearing retainer/bearing first, right?
