Title: Cb550 rear brake return spring
Post by: Johny Boy on March 24, 2026, 03:05:26 PM

Hi everyone, a desperate plea for help.

When I bought my 550 as a basket case, it was missing many parts.
I've almost finished the rebuild but I am missing a couple of key parts which I can't find.

1) Rear brake return spring 46514404670
2) Rear brake switch bracket 50157390000

I've looked on CMSNL and David Silver but no joy .

If anyone has one of these tucked away or could suggest another supplier I would very much appreciate it.
If it comes to it, I can probably make the bracket, but the spring is a bit trickier!

Thanks John

Hi Oddjob, is that the £60 from Bulgaria?

Guess I can sell the other bits

I bought a góod used  one from two wheel spares, I had to buy the shaft as well, it wasn't too expensive.
Might be worth visiting their online shop.

Thanks Ted

I've just gone for the Bulgarian one, considering what I've spent so far,  £60 for a spring doesn't seem to bad!

That advert is on Ebay.com, not Ebay.co.uk, and it shows all the American bits.

If you have any contacts in the USA you could ask them to buy it for you and send it as a gift afterwards.
