Honda CB750A Hondamatic has a OEM plug because they didn't run a tach but used the same head.  They also have a handy 7/8 bar clamp for the mirror.  Maybe still available from bikebandits.com ? If not, used or feebay.

The 400fourstore.com has them in stock.

I don't think they are on his website, but just send him an email.

Will they fit the 550 too?

I'll have to check if they fit the 550. I have a 550 motor here that I will be building shorly for a buddy so if they fit I'll let you know. If not then I'll make a few.
