1972 CB500 fork diameter
« on: January 20, 2015, 09:38:16 PM »
Hey guys, quick question.  Looking to see if anyone knows the front fork diameter on the 1972 cb500; I think it's 35mm but I'm either getting conflicting or no data at all.  Out of curiosity, it would be the same as a '71 too, right?  Thanks!

edit: I want to put clip-on handlebars and just need to know the diameter.  Anyone have any problems and/or recommendations for type of clip-ons and install?  Should be a standard install but I've only done clip-ons for the 750

thanks!!
