1975 Honda CB550K · Suspension & Wheels Buying guide
Compare the running gear actually fitted before selecting parts. Shock lengths, fork components, steering bearings and swingarm pieces have distinct applications, while a previously modified motorcycle may need different checks from one retaining its original equipment.

The bronze swingarm bushings, thrust bushings, dust caps and grease nipples all name CB550K bikes only up to 1975. That makes the 1975 bike the last year they are listed for, so later CB550K owners should check their own year carefully.
The listings offer a 321 mm stock-design set and 335 mm sets described as stock-length, with overlapping CB550K applications. Their stock-length wording is inconsistent. Compare your installed eye-to-clevis measurement and mounts; treat the 290 mm shorty set as a separate custom option.
The 321 mm chrome set is described as modeled after original shocks and lists the 1974–76 CB550K. Other 335 mm listings also claim stock length, so compare the installed measurement rather than assuming either description proves the factory length.
The Japanese-made fork seal listing names the CB550K1 and gives 35 × 48 × 10.5/11 mm dimensions. Compare the removed seals and fitted forks, particularly if the front end has been replaced.
The tapered bearing kit listing includes the 1974–77 CB550K and describes a drop-in replacement with upper and lower races. Compare the current bearings and steering arrangement before choosing it for a modified motorcycle.
