Variations in Fork Ears through model years
« on: January 26, 2010, 01:50:48 PM »
I have a bent fork ear for a CB350K4 (1972) and the cross reference chart shows no other model year that matches. Is that because they are all slightly different, or is it a categorization scheme? They all look the same to me.

If anyone has an RH one, please let me know! thanks

I think your 350 has the larger 7" headlamp - that would require a different "offset" in the fork ears to accommodate the larger shell.

Same thing happened on 450's, after CB450 K4. The CB450 K5-K7 had chrome (not painted) fork ears with a wider offset.
