CB550 fork ear compatibility
« on: January 07, 2023, 04:24:01 PM »
Can anyone confirm whether the fork ears off a 75 CB500T would fit my CB550. It’s a 75 K1 and I want to keep it stock but like the way the turn signals mount on the CB500T ears. I understand CB550F ears would give me the look I’m going for but I can’t seem to find any decent ones for sale. I would like to be able to re use the fork boots and cover up the upper fork tubes that have corrosion. Thanks

 I don't know but the steering stem forks and headlight ears are specific to the 75/76 500T. sometimes the parts list will cross reference the parts to the same bikes. It didn't this time.
