First, '77 was the last year of the 550F. But aside from that, go here: http://slingshot-cycles.com/products-page/brakehoses/

I recently replaced the front brake lines on my CB550, and I bought a set from 'cruzinimage_co' on ebay that included the upper hose, the lower hose, and the hard line between the lower hose and the caliper.  The price was very reasonable and everything fit perfectly.
