Bought from them before, good service. He also has some kickstart levers.

No Oddjob, it's part number 43411283000, the lever arm on the brake backing plate.

That's actually a CB450 Black Bomber part and carried on to the the 5-speed model ..so you can search for those models too to find one.
Nurse Julie:
The part on ebay the Sye posted a link to is one of my eBay listings. If you're interested, PM me and I will give you a discount and do post at cost as I won't have yo pay ebay charges.
Oddjob:
Not a criticism of Julie here but why do people have parts rechromed but never do something about the bad areas that Honda left rough. The edges and even some front parts of the lever are rough, you can see dressing marks from production etc and the rear is rougher than a Moss Side whore. The arm itself it lovely, good chrome job but it could have been so much better and for the same price, same thing applies to gear levers, brake pedals, 550 chain guards and even some parts of the 550 grab rail, it's a real shame.
I know the argument goes but you can't really see it so why bother? Well the same would apply to the 500 fork stanchions, they didn't chrome them where they were hidden by fork shrouds and look what happened there, rust so bad people where forced to change them before they knew about hard chroming etc. Plus it's where rust starts, because the surface is rough the chrome doesn't adhere properly and that lets water in and that's the end of that finish.
AGAIN, nothing critical of Julie here, just a bit of a moan about why this happens.
