I was wondering if someone can point me to a place where I can buy new shocks for my 77 550f.

You've got a few options.  I went with Progressive shocks and springs, and they seem pretty good. The best place to buy those is Z1: http://www.z1enterprises.com/default.aspx 
They'll assemble them for new at no charge. 
Lots of members here like Hagon shocks.  Those can be found at this site: http://www.davequinnmotorcycles.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/HAGON_TWIN_SHOCKS.html

If you don't want to spend that much, go to partsnmore.com and look for their shocks.  They're LDI brand or something.  I hear they're not terrific but good for the money and much better than the originals.
