Maybe you come back after you've did just a little effort and looked in the Parts List so you know what parts are called. http://www.honda4fun.com/materiale-documentazione-tecnica/parts-list/parts-list-cb550
The first one listed is yours.

If it fits a '76 it will fit a '74. But go with what Fly sez. jetsrus has everything for cheap.
