Re: 550 rack on ebay
Yes i have a 380 one on my 550. But to be sure ask him for some measurements if you want
EDIT..I bought mine second hand from internet the guy said it was from a 380. It fits okay. But i have just seen a post from Johnakay on Sundial and he says it wont fit. TBF he should know as he makes replica racks try sending him a PM.

Re: 550 rack on ebay
I fitted a 380 rack to my 550J back in August '72 and it fit....but was at an angle. No correct rack available the first week the 550s were on sale!
It managed for 5 years, but was never quite 'right'. Top right pic was the day I bought the bike, rack & flat bars! 26th August 1972.
