Are these all SOHC4 center stands?
« on: October 09, 2017, 06:00:34 PM »
 Got a big parts haul today and these three center stands were in there. All three are different and I think they're all SOHC4. I'm 95% positive that the black one is for a CB750 and is powdercoated. Are the other two both 500/550? It's possible that there was some CB350 twin stuff in the pile, too.

the stand to the left of the pretty looking stand is for a 500/550 for sure, not sure about the one on top.

 Looking through some old pics and I'm pretty sure that the upper right is a CB/CL350 stand that's been braced. The leg is a known weak point and know to break off. This one seems to have been heavily braced. I'd still like a second opinion.
 I know the 350 twin stands have the spring on a peg on the outside like that.

Just hijacking this thread slightly - does anyone know if a 1981 CB650 centre stand will fit on a 1972 CB500.
They look a bit different and the exhaust arrangements are different on the bikes so I'm guessing it won't fit ?
