Nice jacket. Seems like you are gettin' deep in the SOHC culture!

Thanks Mate.  Whoever did this is definitely not into SOHC culture  :o

well there's : original unrestored
                  : original restored
                  : original NOS
                   : superseded, OEM  NOS , just maybe not the same exact looking part as original factory
                  : new, superseded OEM , also maybe not quite the same look
                  : aftermarket
                  : whatever works
😂

I purchased a Honda fuse holder over 1 month ago.  Seller listed it for a 1978 GL1000 Goldwing so I'm not sure if it is the same fuse holder that was used on the CB550. This will be in the next consolidated shipment from the USA.  Almost ready to ship out  :)

There are usually a few fuse holders for sale at any given time on ebay.  Here is another one:

although I can't speak completely for 550K's, I couldn't find one on a parts page for a K2 ('76).

there isn't one for my 550F. There is a spare fuse in my fuse box.

Those rubber 3 fuse holders dont crop up that often and are only on the bikes that have one single fuse in the reg/rec area not the multi fuse box.
