cb550 steering stop, where?
« on: August 02, 2014, 07:04:37 AM »
Can someone post a pic of the steering stop on a 550? I don't think my bike has them. I took off the stock headlight brackets but didn't notice anything on them that would function as a steering stop. On the bottom triple maybe? Thanks!

I JUST drilled and tapped mine and put a screw in it so my clipon's don't hit my tank. I'll have less of a turn radius but I'm sacrificing that for comfort and for protecting my knuckles and tank.

In the picture you can see. This is on my '78 550K.

Thanks! Found them. I like the idea of drilling and putting in a limiting screw since I have clipons too.

JoeP, did you ever get around to modifying your stops?  Looking for examples, success and trouble stories, etc...

Thanks.
