1975 Honda CB550K · Starter & Charging Buying guide
Starter brushes, seals, the solenoid and charging regulators are separate choices. Compare the fitted starter components and battery type before ordering; a lithium-only regulator has different battery requirements from the conventional Rick’s unit.

The conventional Rick’s unit combines the regulator and rectifier, includes stock-type plugs and may require adapted mounting. Compare the stated body dimensions and 80 mm mounting-hole spacing with the available location. The lithium-only version has its own dimensions and battery requirements.
The large starter seal references Honda 31206-286-158; a separate small seal references 91312-MG7-003. Both listings include the 1974–78 CB550K. Identify the seal being replaced and compare its reference and stated dimensions rather than assuming the two listings cover the same position.
Each brush is 12mm x 14mm x 6mm. The set of two stands in for Honda 31201-292-158 and suits Mitsuba two-brush starters on 1974-78 CB550K bikes.
No. Its reduced charging voltage is intended for lithium-ion batteries only, according to the listing. A conventional lead-acid battery should be paired with the standard Rick’s unit instead.
Yes. The starter motor terminal boot stands in for Honda 32411-230-000 and lists CB550K bikes from 1974 to 1978. It covers the cable connection on the starter.
