CB550 Fork Ears
« on: November 03, 2010, 07:26:25 PM »
Hey guys I have a 75' CB550. Just have one quick question about the right fork ear. Is it supposed to have a bend in it before it connects to the headlight. The left side goes straight out and connects to the headlight, but the righ has a kind of L shape to it. Is this supposed to be there or not? My right turn signal is a little farther back than the left so I'm guessing it's not suposed to be there. Maybe someone dropped it to create a perfect 90 degree angle in it  ;D

No it shouldn't have a bend it should be a mirror image of the other side. Left side has a bracket for the turn signal beeper but that's the only difference.
