77 cb550k fender eliminator kit
« on: January 27, 2012, 12:21:15 pm »
Just got the bike running and am looking for some kind of light kit to mount to the bracket without having to fabricate something. Anybody know of anything that will fit? I am making cafe racer and don't want fender.  Thanks for any help.

Not having the metal brace between the fork sliders is a recipe for fork klex and bad handling

This is the back fender.  The seat that is being molded does not have a place for lights.  Want to put something underneath for at least the brake light and didn't know if there was some kind of kit that would fit the back hanger.  Looks to be about 7 5/8" or so outer edge to outer edge.

Cut a hole in the back of the seat hump, mount the brake light there.

Get a license plate bracket that can mount underneath the seat. There are some that also have ears to mount your turn signals.



Something like this.

Just make sure you have your 3 reflectors and a DOT brake light.

My buddy and I just started making these for our bikes - so we know it fits the 76/77 CB550F.

We haven't had a guinea pig yet to see if they fit the 77 CB550K. 

Don't know if you solved your issue yet, but text or email me if you want to give it a shot...we can lower your price to $150 instead of $180, and I'll pay the shipping to get it to you.  And if it doesn't fit, of course you don't pay and I'll pay the shipping for the return.

Cool!  Maybe, maybe...
