Topic: Bought bottom end gasket kit CB550, is this the right one?

[L.A. Nomad........]

I just bought this off Ebay on impulse. So, I didn't think about till it arrived in the mail.

The large flat paper gasket doesn't look right. I'm guessing clutch cover, it's been a while since I had it apart. What do you guys think?

That is correct for a 550 and the big gasket is clutch cover you also get:-

Alternator to crankcase
points cover to crankcase
sump pan
starter cover
oil pump "O" rings (but NOT the top cover of pump)
oil filter "O" rings
plus others

Only difference on a 500 set is the clutch cover gasket

Thanks for the confirmation! But dang I was hoping for the Top oil pump cover. I guess I'll have to email the Brit again!
