CB550 Bolt-In Rear Fender Eliminator Options?
« on: May 13, 2023, 08:30:37 AM »
I'm looking for one of the steel box type kits that integrates and mounts the tail light and license plate into the rear fender.

The same one that appears to still be available for the CB750.

From what I can tell there was only one guy making them a few years ago.

Will post some pictures when back at a computer.

Were/are there any other options still available for us  550 guys?

What exactly is preventing me from modifying/jamming a 750 piece into my 550 dimensionally?

Cheers,

Some renders have 3 bolts for the light bracket some 4, the height up the fender can vary as well

I would buy the one for the 750 for 69-76 and mod it if needed.
