And I've since sold the CB550, so I can't shoot some now. Shoulda kept it though; it was a fun old bike. If you have particular questions about the install post them up and I'll answer them as best I can. Steve, I’m sorry but I can’t seem to locate photos.

I was wanting to do something similar with my '76 550. Do you have a picture of the new installation? Thanks, Steve Sounds like a good installation.

I double checked the parts I ordered, and I assume the part in question is Dennis Kirk part number 191350? I found the package in my garage, and that's the one I ordered, and it did work. I had no leaks and my braking power was vastly improved. Maybe the threads are different across different years of the CB? If you call Dennis Kirk tech support - try to get Tim on the line. He knows his stuff, and originally helped me put the list together. Jeff Hi Robb,
Thanks for the comment!

Found your CB550 brake upgrade recently, very helpful; I ordered the same parts from DK, and all's well excepting that the adapter fitting that threads into the caliper has the wrong sized threads on it. I was just wondering whether you ever got your bss line installed, and whether you ran into that issue? Thanks in advance. Hi Jeff .. .Robb here, from up in Milwaukee.
