The brake light switch attaches to a bracket, on the 500 and I'm fairly sure the 550F it's a bracket welded to the frame, on the 550K however it went into a bracket which was separate and attached to the upper rear engine bolt, probably why it's loose as on the 500 and 550F you wouldn't really need to remove it. It's missing a long thin spring which goes through the hole in the pin you can see protruding from the switch.

If the carbs are missing I'd fit the carbs off either the 500 or the 550F as the 550K carbs were much different and TBH are pretty pants in comparison. You'd also need the airbox to match but it's a worthwhile change as the 550K carbs really are that bad.

Good advice from oddjob about the carbs.But u also have to change the intake manifolds on the back of the head.Your intakes wont line up with the older style carbs

Wash your mouth out with brake fluid ! The original exhaust system is a work of art,
I have to agree the original is class,but i like my yoshi too

The exhaust is a third of the price of a yoshi!
Bargain for the cafe racer lads

The rear foot pegs on the swing arm identify the 400 as a early one.

Not in my case Graham,my bike is a 77 so a F2 and it had the swingarm footpegs.
Ooh and i ground the feckers off 😂
