1976 CB550F1 (what have I let myself in for) Project
MCTID:
Congratulations from me too....I like Standard bikes, but all credit to your efforts......I think you have accomplished something really 'special' with your 'special' !
You'll need to add 5 minutes to all your rides as plenty of people will be asking you lots of questions about your bike....nice questions of course....and get ready for the positive handshakes. Well done fella.

Those particular ones might not be, that photo is from the website. The ones I've ordered are made for the cb550 069A carbs. When they arrive I will let you know!

I didn't. I left it out of the case and just left the shaft and circlip/spring in place under the clutch cover.
The kickstart doesn't clear the rearset anyway so I was going to have to modify the arm somehow. I've decided to leave it out and just use the electric start for now. I really did want to keep the kickstart though... if I miss it I will look at it then and I will have to get new gears.

Is this ok for fuel heights?
