CB500/4-CB550 Cylinder Stud Lengths?
« on: January 31, 2025, 01:25:01 PM »
Anyone have the lengths of the 2 different lengths of the CB500/550 cylinder studs?
I got these mixed in CB750 set of APE cylinder studs. I'm thinking they might be for the 500/550, but I  don't have any to check the lengths to and the parts fiches don't include the lengths nor is it in the Clymer service manual.
They were installed by someone, I cleaned off the hardened thread loc/sealant (?)
