Happy Sunday all 8)
Looking at stanchions and as shown mine are pretty rusted so no guarantee they'll be ok to refurbish, or how good they'll come out.
Looking for new ones but they are incredibly expensive. Anyway, found some Tarozzi ones for CB500s which may fit?
Looking at csmnl it says the CB550k1 stanchions are same as CB500k2?

There is a pic of some pretty rough stanchions on this thread, http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,23727.0.html hard chromed by Philpotts and look better than new.
You can also use Dynasurf in Sandbach, cheaper and turn round time seems to be better. I've had a few parts done by them including a set of stanchions for a CB1300 which are still looking as good as new a few years later, hard chroming is very hard and resists stone strikes etc much much better than decorative or standard chrome.

No worries and thanks for the continued advice. Will send them out for refurb!

So some good news, got confirmation of registration letter from DVLA!
No inspection required (phew!). Just waiting for the V5c form to arrive then SORN until build is done!
Thanks to everyone who helped out with the paper work! :)

Hi, everyone.
Can anyone suggest where I can find 91261-323-000 D-ring for rear brake hub assy?
All places show out of stock. Did find a thread here where parts were group ordered from Slovakia?
I've found all other orings and dust seals either through eBay or just like for like replacement for o-rings.
