Unless this is the start of a complete project build, you might want to move it to SOHC4 bikes.

I put one on a bike I did for a friend. It did not push on the carbs all the way to that final raised grove you see. I squared it up so it did not fit crooked and pushed it on as far as I could. Then I tightened the mounting Allen bolts.

thanks davez... i just finished doing the same.. used a rubber mallet to just snug it down as far as possible.. should hold up fine!

Mine fit all the way down on 78 CB550K.  Make sure the allen bolts are backed off all the way.
