Depends how eary 70's and what bike, i know you have 750 in your username but that does not guarantee the question is about a 750 i was taught over 1/2 a century ago that if you assume you make an ass out of u and me!

I don't want that to happen.
February 1970 CB750
Bought used 69/70 fork ears 5 mm
Bought new 69/70 reflectors 6 mm

Thats because the original 70/71 reflectors were 5mm but the part number superceeds to the later 6mm one and the early ones are now not obtainable as spares, sorry.

Early 500 are the 5mm(K0 only) and i believe one or more of the smaller Hondas were but dont know which ones

There are folks selling "reproduction" 33741-286-670 on ebay with 6 mm stems, they should be jailed.
Thanks for posting history.
