Topic: Will any mags fit without any modifications?

[robdrobd]

Are their any mags out their that will fit a 1975 cb550 without any modifications to the front and rear brakes? I like the look of the mags, but want to use stock everything else.

If you can find some, LESTER Mags.

Where is the best place to find some LESTER mags for a 550?

I'm DYING to have a set!

Apart from vintage wheels, there are no easy alternatives....but it can be done.

Where to look for vintage wheels?

Craigslist
Ebay
Local sales papers are good too as well as swap meets and other motorcycle events.

Sometimes buying a whole partsbike just for the wheels is a good idea.

i've brought this question up before but what i wanna know is what modifications are we talking about? details man!

i've seen our bikes with yamaha or kawasaki stuff.

     The early Yamaha mags look similar to Lesters and are a dime a dozen.  They can be had with disc front and back or with a drum on the rear.  The Lesters may bolt right in but are $$$ unless you get lucky.
     Not sure what mods would be required.  I have a loose front Yamaha mag and two XS's in the garage so if you need any dimensions let me know.

Yep, I am serious.

Need to start looking into this.
