Will Dunstall Clip-ons hit my tank? Cb550 SuperSport
« on: February 28, 2013, 02:53:23 PM »
It looks close, from the pictures I have been able to find but I have yet to see one with a 550 supersport tank. Anyone have experience? I did some forum search's without luck. 

Thanks!

They are adjustable because they rotate on the upper fork tubes, so it depends on the angle. They won't hit the tank if you adjust.

Original Dunstalls don't rotate as they fit to the fork clamp bolt and the top nut. The fairing kit cam with parts to restrict the lock and you may need those as well
