    Does anyone know what the fork diameter is on my 550? I'm going to clip-ons, and I need to know what mm to buy. Also, where is a good place to buy fork seals?

    Well, I bought the clip-ons. Hopefully they'll be here by friday. I'm pretty excited to get some work done on this bike. I'll post up some pics when they get here. Does anyone know if I will have to change lines or cables? How is the clutch cable supposed to be routed?

    Well, the clip-ons came, BUT they are the wrong size. I got 38mm instead of 34mm, so hopefully the guy will exchange them for me. I was so bummed, i was so close to riding it today :( . Oh well now the information will be on the site. 550 fork diameter is 34mm!!!

    Shim them! Or even better... Use some cut up innertube and have them "rubber-mounted"!

    If he doesn't want to exchange me i will just re-sell them and buy the right size. I was gonna shim them but I figured if they have the right size i'll go that route.
