If you mean the ones on the "T" pieces 7.8 x 1.9 which will make them very difficult to get and the original part number, if its available, was 16173-044-004

8mm ID x 1.9mm CS seems to work fine also.  I normally have a good supply of them on hand, but I'm down to my last two.  I use a supplier in Houston, but they have a significant minimum order requirement.  If you can't find anything locally, let me know....I may be putting together another bulk order and will certainly be getting some of that size.

Kevin- If you get enough for an order I'd be in for a set for my 550 also.

Ok, Jay (and any others interested).  I'll work up an order and make a run to the supplier Monday or Tuesday.   Shoot me a PM with your e-mail address(es).

I made a run to the supplier today and stocked up on the fuel tee O-rings that fit the CB500Four, early 550K, 550F and 750.  Also picked up some of the 550 oil pump cover O-rings.
