Triple tree compatible? 73 500k
« on: May 14, 2014, 10:35:27 AM »
I need a triple tree for my 73 500k build, but it's hard to find. Does anybody know what other models are compatible with mine? I saw a '77 cb550 TT on ebay. Will it fit?

Yes it will fit. The 500/550 trees are the same fitment, though they may have differing gauge and indicator mounts. But stem and offsets are equal.

"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.
