    got this bike for father but was missing carbs. Did a custom build, got it all designed, fabricated and on final assembly. Tried to locate a set but can't find any. Was able to find a guy local that had 3 of them, but was missing the #1.

    Father can bend knees too well but loves this bike so I did full custom build for a solid axle trike.

    I have a whole stack of carb racks..... I’ll see if I have a partial 550 rack. I know I have almost a dozen full 550 racks.....

    I know it’s no help but there’s been a NOS carb #1 available on eBay from the UK for like $130 shipped the last month or so. I just tried finding it again with no success

    Here it is!
    You can see it’s carb #1 because the part number on the second pic ends in “1”
    I’ve been really considering buying it but I got lucky and my 550 carbs are in good shape.
