the main harness is different, as the 550 has additional parts.

you can compare them using the diagrams at: http://oldmanhonda.com/MC/WiringDiagrams/MCwiring.php  these are in colour which makes it very easy to trace the various systems & components.

you can also compare to components by checking the part numbers at:

Thanks Tintop. For some reason the link to the site were you can compare part numbers came in as one of those annoying little red crosses in a box. Any other way of getting that link ?
Cheers

try: http://www.cmsnl.com/.  that is the home page.  follow the links for Honda, it will take you to a page that lists 500 & 550.
