CB450 triple tree clamp on a CB550?

[Represto]

I'm tossing some clip ons on my 550. When I loose the bars, I'll still have those nasty bar mounts on my triple tree clamp. I was peering at the 450's tonight and the bar mounts on those are removable. This is good.

Can I put a 450 clamp on my 550??

I know the CB500 and CB550 trees go into the 350, im pretty sure the 450 trees work too, the stem length may be off though. I just picked up a CB500 triple off ebay, it has the removable bar clamps. Might be useless though, since i think i have 37mm forks... i think ill have to get a CB550SC (nighthawk) or FT500 (Ascot) trees...
