I have some suspicious holes on the front of my '74 CB550. Am I missing any fasteners or mounts?

Yeah, just the bolts for those bottom holes. You have all the brackets. A blot, and nut and a split-lock lock washer is what you need for each hole.

What’s the power differences from say, painting them silver? I don’t want to overwork the engine by painting them red.
