1977 Honda CB550K · Suspension & Wheel Buying guide
Work through the rear shocks, front forks and wheels as separate assemblies. Their measurements and contents differ, and a previous owner’s changes can make a stock-style product name an incomplete guide to selection.

The shock choices include a 321 mm stock-design set, several 335 mm sets and shorter custom options. Compare the stated eye-to-clevis or eye-to-eye measurement with the shocks on the motorcycle. Do not use the stock-style naming alone to establish an original height or matching mounts.
A fork dust boot does not replace its oil seal, and a rear-wheel spoke set is not a front-wheel set. Identify each repair position and inspect the retained components. For the progressive spring kit, the supplied pipe and washers are expressly not used on the CB550K/F application.
Compare the installed shocks with the listed measurement method and mounting details. The 321 mm and 335 mm choices have different specifications despite stock-style naming, and the shorter custom sets should not be assumed to preserve the existing arrangement.
Yes. The current rear set contains 40 silver spokes and 40 silver nipples for the stock 18-inch rear-wheel application. Compare the fitted rim and hub, particularly if either has been changed.
No. The spring description explicitly says its pipe or spacers and washers are not used for CB550K/F. Consult the linked product instructions for the application rather than assuming every packaged piece belongs in the fork.
