I wish I had one too Brett.  Put a search on ebay to notify you of any '76 - '78 CB550 cam covers/valve covers/etc. to match the possible permutations and see if you can score one for an acceptable price. You don't want to ruin a set of rockers on a cover that has issues... Or, wipe out a good cam on one.

So I'm currently at a stand still until I find a new rocker cover. My current cover has out of spec rocker guides so I tore it down hoping to find a rocker cover from a 77-79 CB550 that has the locating pins.

I've had a couple leads but nothing has panned out yet. If anybody has a lead on the cover I need, please pint me in their direction.

I visited my local moto salvage yard today and dug up the holy grail of CB500/550 owners. A rocker cover with the locating pins.
