Hi guys, managed to get out today and put around 100 miles on the bike but I cant say im gelling well with the clutch, seems slow to engage and noticed some slip a couple of times. New clutch and heavy duty springs were fitted over the winter, pushrod looked ok. any suggestions

Definitely the wrong one, this is what it looks like. Has a little tab and one thread hole. (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)
looking at those pics I think I can pull it back, looks like mine has just been compressed in a vice.

I have enlarged the pic as far as I can and I don't think its the correct bracket but it is listed as an ignition barrel so you may have no comeback on it. I have one I will be using in the future and if you want to borrow it till you get another that can be arranged, don't think I have a "spare" to sell though
Can you put some pics up of it? I should be able to repair the one that's been cut up if I have something to work to.

Thankyou Delta, some very good info there. Your right about the single grease nipple on the swing arm and the five settings on the rear shocks, I'm still a little stumped with the ignition barrel though, it looks like it's standard fitment as the wiring harness appears to be intact and the key for the ignition also fits the seat lock. I will post a pic once I figure out how to compress the file.

They don't have the stamped numbers like the genuine Honda ones so I'm guessing they are either out of a kit or replica ones, either way they will do the job Thanks again Trigger. Delta, can you help me with identify which model my bike is? I was looking at the service and part manuals that you posted on another post and its thrown some doubt on what model my bike is! I thought it is a K2 but my bike has the ignition key unit between the clocks, not on the left side of the frame? the clocks are the later larger ones tilted towards the rider, also the petcock is the same as on the cb550. I wrote to Honda years ago for an age related document and the year of manufacture is 1976.
