What is this Bracket For?
« on: February 16, 2022, 01:01:50 PM »
On my early cb750 frame, there is a bracket under the headstock tube (next to the horn mount). I wonder what is was intended to be? Appears to have never been used......

I don’t think I’ve seen one before, maybe added on?

Possibly a mount for a steering damper?

No. They are on the early frames. This one is #1251. Maybe a lock that got changed?

Apparently that is correct. It never happened, and the bracket disappeared very quickly from production. Someone suggested after the first 1,000. Mine is 1261, so it lasted that long.....
