? Stock dual tail light assembly from other Honda's for 1978 CB550K?
« on: July 03, 2022, 09:46:46 AM »
Has anyone successfully converted tail light assembly with another HONDA oem that bolts right to the rear fender of a 1978 Honda CB550K.

I have always wanted to change over to a stock Honda dual bulb complete assembly,  but have not.

From memory the cbx 1000 and cb750F1/2 are the same rear light, but not bracket

I was thinking light of a CB650 could work, but I have not found pictures of any actual  conversion.

I have always disliked the single bulb setup on all three of my CB550's that I have owned.

Ah, see what you mean now, dont know of any 2 bulb Honda units but a Kawasaki one will fit with an adaptor plate
