Size of stock cb550 '75 headlight... help shops 35mi. away!
« on: August 14, 2008, 06:21:06 PM »
Hey all,

I was looking at ordering this fearing along with my sidecovers from jcwhitney tonight and the fairing is meant for a bike with a 7" dia. headlight.  What is the quick measurement of the stock '75 cb550's headlight?

I would easily check myself, but the bike is at a buddies house 35miles away!

THANK YOU!

I'm about 98% sure the stock 550 headlight is 7"

I've considered the bullet fairing for my 550 as well.

well for 69 dollars!! That seems like a steal to me!  I just got my side covers from jcwhitney and saw this fairing in the catalog... I tell you what, the sidecovers made a huge difference... I think a fairing would look kickass on her!
