The only difference is the rocker arms, but that should not effect the tach plug.

Question:
Has anyone used the Joker tach plug on a 550 engine?

On their site, it is known to fit:
CB350F - 1972 - 1974
CB400F Super Sport - 1975 - 1977
CX500 - 1978-1979
CX500C Custom - 1979-1982
CX500D Deluxe - 1979-1981
CB750F Super Sport - 1975-1976
CB750K - 1969-1976

[But "unknown" as to the 550 on their site.]

Don - click the link above, it states:

CB550F Super Sport - 1975-1977
CB550K - 1974-1976

But not CB550K 1976-1978, but we know the motors are basically the same.
