1978 Honda CB550 Frame (front end neck stem dimensions)
« on: February 24, 2020, 12:45:07 AM »
Hi - I just bought a 1978 Honda CB550 and looking to see if anyone has these dimensions H1, H2, and H3, see attachment. My bike is not assembled and having difficulty finding this info online. If you know a website that has this info posted, please share the link.

- Dimensions that I'm looking for H1, H2, H3

Thanks

 Are you looking for steering bearings?

 And according to their fork conversion tool, the bearings/races are:

 TOP
I.D. 30
O.D. 48.5
Width 15

BOTTOM
I.D. 30
O.D. 50
Width 14.25
