J-Clips for Alternator Cover CB550
« on: August 04, 2020, 11:16:17 AM »
These clips (see image) to hold on the alternator cover are unavailable from my local Honda dealer in Calgary although they are available from David Silver Spares USA. Do I really need these or are other members using other methods to attach the alternator cover? On my CB400F they had a slightly different alternator cover that just screwed in. Thanks

They are the best way, im sure your dealer could order them if they could be bothered

I used high heat RTV to hold mine on before I upgraded to the latter 550 cover which was cast like the 750. In fact, I still use paint safe silicone to hold the gas tank emblems on...
