Hmm, I've had to resize my photos which I've not needed to do before. Here you go Trigger.

Sorry Dom, hard to tell from those pictures. I thought you had the wheel stripped down and that is the picture i was after to ID the hub ;)

I did have but put it back together so I can move it about in my cramped garage. It's a standard 550f rear hub so I could send you photos from one on ebay?
DomP:
I got it started today after a carb rebuild, it sounded a bit rough but I've only done the cam chain adjustment so not looked at the tappets or timing! I remembered I'd not checked the compression so did a test after it's brief time running. The results were worryingly poor, 70,75, 80, 82ish, as its not been started since 2016/17 I'm guessing I've got either piston ring wear or very poorly adjusted tappets. Is this likely to be the case on 32k?
I have found that it's not running on points but electronic ignition (Dyna S) which was a nice surprise as its one less thing to have to mess around with.

AFAIK the filter will sit correctly. I seem to recall it's the same psychical shape and size, just with a hole in the bottom on the 550.

It will sit down too far meaning it doesn't line up with the airbox hole. I think the 550 filter is held up by the metal pipe and gauge screen.
Regarding the rear hub alignment I mentioned earlier, there is a photo a few posts back where the sprocket carrier isn't in alignment with the hub.
