aha! Brin the Roller Derby Queen was able to post the pics! my looking at a 73 parts microfiche shows the entire unit - plate, all the hardware- as one assembly, one part #.  NLA, 875 euros.
Its whats keepin me from gettin it running. That and the steering head bngs havent arrived...
anybody got some in thier parts pile they will be much appreciated.....

So you need 1 or both arms?, looks like you need the shaft too.

 Looks like I may have to part that set of carbs, someone needs some other parts off them.

those parts are the same on the 500 & 550 1972 through 1976  so dont limit youre search, Originaly the mounting bracket complete with those on was part number16094-323-004 but on later bikes was only available as part of the complete carb set

754***yes- both brackets are cracked, one completely thru- overtightened by a DPO. SoI doubt if the will hold slide synch over time.
the shaft I can clean up, but those two brackets are critical.
and BryanJ thanks for the parts # & the range of commonality, that helps quite a bit .....
You can ping me direct 754 if you are so disposed to sell off some bits.....

If the bowls fit the later 550 then they are sold and I should be able to sell the linkage.

will let you know tonite.  is everything else on bike overtightened?

754- I think we got the carb parts coming. Still need the fender braces, tho.....

[754]

Well, I got them  partly apart. Man that is a lot of work.
Unless you can accuratley drill out a 3mm pin, looks like you will be replacing the entire rack, and shaft along with the brackets..

 I got  1 fairly good brace, rubbers are tattered, other brace is rough has crack at screw hole.
