Difference in 550 Forks
« on: May 08, 2006, 08:27:00 AM »
Is there anything that makes a 78' CB550 fork different from the rest of them.  Externally only.  I've noticed that the Daytona fork braces say for 78 only.  I have a fork brace I'd like to use but it doesn't seem to fit over my dust boots.

The fork lowers are different lengths than earlier forks.  And the front fenders are different.
