I did notice that the retaining ring sits a few mm proud of the flange - could it be that the bearing isn't seated deep enough?

You may know this already but file size is not an issue if you use Flikr then paste the code on here. Somehow Flikr does it all automatically.
Oddjob:
Did you remember the spacer inside the left hand bearing in the hub? See if you can drive the left hand bearing in a little more whilst making sure the inner spacer that goes between the 2 bearings remains straight. I seem to recall if the bearing isn't fully home it makes the retainer sit proud and thus the carrier isn't tightened down enough.
Seabeowner:
Is there a lip at the far end of the carrier.
Also make sure it is pushed on firmly over the D ring. And greased.

Thanks for all of the advice. I'm going to try to have another look at it before the weekend and will let you know how it goes

There are many CB500/550s around where the ring is not down tight. This doesn't need to be a reason for concern. Bearing should be fully down though. That's easy to check. On assembly the sound will tell you. If then the retainer does not go fully down, it's because the bearing - probably an aftermarket product, is not a 100% identical to the OEM one.
