Cb550 triple clamps
« on: October 23, 2013, 09:43:31 AM »
Hi guys

Was at a bike show the other day and picked up some cb650 yokes for £15 which I thought was a bargain the question is, will they fit the cb550 frame? The clamps are the fight size it's just the stem I'm worried about?

Any thoughts?

Jordan - if you can measure it (dia. And length) and send them along, I'll measure a factory 550 stem for you to compare. If you are at all worried about the spread and offset of the forks, that's a different issue. Just be cause the tubes are the same diameter is not an assurance of fit.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
