Topic: 550 fork brace, what year's are the same size?

[kyre]

I have been looking for a fork brace for my 74 550k but with no luck so far. (anybody have one?) I was wondering if anybody knew other years that would fit my 74? would any made for the 750 fit?

thanks

this link suggests the CB500/CB550/CB750K2-K6 all use the same fork brace:

hmmm says 1976-1979 though. nothing earlier.

i'm not sure we're looking at the same entry.

i'd say part # FS23 fits your bike.  (but i was reading up on fork braces about a week ago and hear telefix is expensive and i'm not sure of their availabilty.)

here's another link for a fork brace for a cb750sohc.  if it fits the k2-k6, i'd think it fits your bike:

edit:  actually, that last one may have limited application:

All 500/550 are the same but dont think 750 will fit. Always willing to be proved wrong tho

yeah I'm not interested in the "tweak" bar for choppers. that teleflex seems like what I'm looking for, now I'll just have to keep an eye out even harder for one. I'd like to find a daytona fork brace but can't find those anywhere to fit my bike either. I try ebay all the time. Actually the brace I'd REALLY love to have is from hansen honda



BUT they want $350 for it! ouch. I already have a stock brace and fender, but am creating a cafe so was either gonna take the fender off, cut it down, or find a different fender.
