Initially, I had new CB550 shocks fitted and the underside of the seat pan still hit the wheel so I had to fit 750 ones to get good clearance.

You see so many 550s with straight hoops, how are they getting clearance on standard shocks?

You can't get clearance with standard shocks. Even with the hoop, you need longer shocks that why I ended up with the 750 ones as the 500 ones were to short to give clearance to the seat pan.
