CB500/550 gauge covers on CB750 gauges?
« on: November 15, 2005, 12:07:36 PM »
G'Day Guys, I just won a set of aftermarket CB500/550 chrome speedo/tach gauge covers, will they fit early 750 gauges too? I'd like to put a set on my K1 gauges once I fit KGhost's new white faces? Cheers, Terry.
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Planet Ebay Dusty, Man what a world that'd be! Yeah, I'm one sad sack of sh**, but there's just so much to see and do! Anyway, I'm too ill to go out to the garage at the moment (got the 'flu, and it's 80 degrees outside!) so I'm hanging around the 'net, just checking stuff out, ha ha! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Terry,
I think the 550 gauges are mounted with two bolts as per the later 750 gauges. I do not think they will fit the clamp mount type early 750 gauges,

Thanks Clyde, I figured that they are the same physical size, so I couldn't work out why the chrome covers would be specifically marked CB500/550? Cheers, Terry. ;D
