CB550F side cover rubber grommets
peterengland:
I had some like that but just carefully shaved off a bit inside the grommet and they fitted perfectly
Seabeowner:
The grommets are the same AFAIK on all the 500/550s. 17247303000 and 83551300000. Except one of the large ones is turned through 90deg on the Fs and K3.
I had some cheap ones and used a soldering iron to melt a chamfer on them and trimmed them up. But on my best bikes I bought genuine.
Johnny4428:
The problem with the ones I had was they appeared to be a lot harder than the originals.
DomP:
Interesting read as I need to replace mine that fell apart as soon is I got near them.
I wonder if anyone with an F model could do me a favour and measure the spacings of the gromet tabs, or trace them? I'm uncertain whether I have a warped right side cover or if the tabs have been removed and welded back on in the wrong place (unlikely as there are no signs anywhere on the bike that it's been messed with.

Always worth warming them first
Soak in hot water
Make them malleable
