I think Comstars look right on some bikes.  What model did those come from?  I'm not up on Comstar terminology, would you call those reversed since they have an edge on the outside rather than the metal folding in?  I have a set like those that I believe came from a CB900 I want to use on a 550, but the rear wheel doesn't end up centered, so some I'll have to do some work.

They are the reverse comstars.  Most of the 650 sohc4's had them.

My 79 CB650 has the pressed alloy look Comstars, but I like them and man are they easy to clean after spoked wheels.

the comstars are off a 79.. need left brake caliper bracket, speedo unit and wheel spacers to finish front, the front part of the header is a mac the muffler is a kerker

[cb650]

What triple trees did you use?

[Muk]

i bought the forks and triple trees off ebay said they were for a 82 cb650

What all did you have to do to the comstars to get them to fit/work correctly with our 550's?

I guess more specifically what did you do to get them to work... more details would be nice, maybe a pic?

Thanks!

[Muk]

i used the cb650 forks, triple tree's axle and wheel spacers in the front, the rear has the 79 cb650 swingarm, wheel, sprocket, axle and wheel spacers

Ah Cheater!! Thanks for the info.  Looks good

[Muk]

i used the forks so i could have dual piston calipers on each side
