cb550 front caliper and forks?
« on: June 03, 2010, 08:32:40 PM »
I just bought my first bike today a 75 cb550. but it needs a front caliper. Should I try and buy the caliper and go stock? or should I look for another fork asembly with dual disc's? Which is a better/smarter plan? thanks for the help guys

Quickest is fit a stock one, any one from 500 or 550 1971 to 1978 will fit, dont forgrt to get the bracket and piework as well
