Chain Guard mystery (to me) - where did it come from?
« on: July 05, 2016, 02:08:54 PM »
I got this at a swap meet a couple years ago.  Chrome. I think it was from a cb650 but I dunno.  Anyone recognize it (and if you want it, I'll happily sell it).

And this isn't in the "sell" section because I dunno what it is yet.  The spacing between the bolt holes, as shown is a pinch under 13"

Thanks!

Looks an awful lot like my 550 cover.

yes Bomber. I do believe that was why someone invented it.  "when 'close enough' isn't close enough," etc.
