If at all possible see if you can find original 500/550F bars, not 550K3 bars. I'll measure the top yoke and bars serrations on mine and see what they are.

Thanks Ken that would be handy.
Oddjob:
The serrations are 100mm wide from middle to middle, the holes in the top yoke are the same size, so the serrations should match the bolt holes exactly.
Check both the bars and the yokes to see which one is wrong.

I would say the bars are not made to fit this bike originally.
The yoke is fine the clamp unit with the pilot lights fits fine just not happy with the clamping situation.
Oddjob:
If DS are selling CB550F bars with the holes make sure they are UK bars not USA bars before ordering.

When I put the original 500 part number in it comes up with the above part number for 53100-323-620.
Not sure if the DS part has holes as it's not visible on the three pics.
