My CB550 Four k1 journey
Bryanj:
From dss uk site, everything will transfer but new cables and top brake hose would be better.

Routing of fuel tubes is prone to cause issues. I envy those little clamps though. Where can I get them?

Thanks.
Yes, pipes are not OE which was a shame, I’d like to get something more like the original 4 into 4’s. Colour, to my none expert eye looks pretty close to Flake Sunrise Orange from the pictures I’ve seen, possibly it isn’t.

Sorry Jon, the light and the pictures themselves are not the true representation of the colour.

They are used on automotive applications, common on German cars, often on Audi VW vehicles. Small "Knipex twingrip" pliers make them very easy to move around.
Alternatively, I like these type "single ear stainless hose clamps" that have a very compact profile/space requirement/broad clamping surface amalgam to work exceptionally well with small hoses.
A little more difficult to use, should have a dedicated "setting" tool .... but can effectively be set with a old style nail puller type plyer to "crimp" them.
With those type, you can latch them, slide into place and gently squeeze them to closure (it bends two kink into that ear shape) which makes one of the most secure and neat hose clamp arrangement I've used. They are super neat and use, effectively, an uninterrupted band to gently caress ;D the rubber hose uniformly all around it's circumference.
