Hi,
     If the frame steering head is the same as the 400/4, the complete front end of a 400N will fit straight in complete with twin discs, but this gives a 19in front wheel, but there are 18in wheels that fit, bthe rear needs two made to measure distance pieces to fit the rear wheels.

The 500/550 have a 19 inch front wheel anyway, it's the 350/400 that needs 18 inch front.

One of my cb550s came with comstars, think it was a pretty straightforward bolt in fitting, but as the bike was a complete basket case theres not much guarantee what I started with. Personally I thought it looked pretty good and it used standard cb550 tyre sizes so the speedo worked ok. Pretty sure Ihave 2 sets of those wheels still here. I also ran twin disks on mine. The forks were cb550 ones, seem to remember the pads needed a light touch with a file to sit neat on the disks - these days I would skim a few mm off the hubs for the same effect.

Hey Matthew,

Thanks, that's interesting to note.

If you have those wheels and fancy moving them on please drop me a message. At the moment I'm pretty focused on the engine and electricals stage but at some point I'll get round to the running gear!

Thanks!
