CB550 Fender Question
« on: July 25, 2011, 12:50:54 PM »
My parts bike CB550 has a fender with no upper support and it's a little shorter on top.  The tank that came with it is a CB550K tank, but is this likely a CB550F fender?

77 - 78 Cb550 front fenders (F or K) had only one fender stay per side.

Ok, thanks.  I was told the parts bike was a '76, but who knows for sure.  No title.   I guess I'm not a purist as I do like the look of the newer better than the original
