550 fender interchangeability
« on: June 06, 2022, 07:05:11 AM »
Hey folks,

I've got a 74 CB550. It needs a front fender. Just wondering what years would have fenders that would bolt right up? Thanks.

I do know 71-73 CB500 will fit as well as the 71-74 CB450s since I’ve interchanged them all on my bikes. You can also buy a new reproduction from David Silver spares.

Any of them should fit.

 Any 500/550 will fit. Some may have an extra front brace that goes to the lower front of the fork.
 Even a 750 front fender will fit.

And Dave Silver sells the same one for all of them
