78 CB550K Side Cover
« on: March 31, 2008, 12:35:08 AM »
Hey everyone. 
So other than waiting for a used one to come my way, where else can I find a side cover for my 78 CB550K?

I dont think anybody makes those as the shape and fitting points are different

you can get a Maier side panel for it. It looks like thats what I'll be doing as I've destroyed mine trying to remove some paint.

I would be fine with that but all I could find through their site is 1975 & 1976 side covers.  Will a 76 side cover fit on a 78?  I've asked this once before and I only got one response so I'll ask again.

The mounts are different so you may need something like duct tape or maybe baler twine.
