HONDA CB550 K3 FRONT FORK TUBES
« on: May 19, 2016, 08:01:27 AM »
Hello there,
I am asking to Cruzinimage about the Front Fork Tubes that he is selling on Ebay for my 550 k3, he says me that it does not fit on my 550K3, only in 500 and 550 Super Sport  Models :o :o, are 550 k3 front tubes differents to 500&550 F  models???(I think that not but.....)
Any suggestion?
Thank you for your help.

This is the Ebay Number: 141542105870

¡Hola Piki!
You can check in the various CB550 Parts Lists http://www.honda4fun.com/materiale-documentazione-tecnica/parts-list/parts-list-cb550 and see if partsnumbers differ. To check what other bikes a certain part is on, you can enter the found partsnumber(s) here http://www.motogrid.com/OEMpartfinder.htm?aribrand=HOM No need to fill in 'Model', just the partsnumber. After you've clicked 'Search' and 'select model' you'll be presented a list of models that had that same part. Very convenient.

Thank you for your help, I think that really the front tubes are the same for any 550 model, but I do not understand because Cruzinimage say that not....

I have an F1 and had trouble getting a fork stanchion for this model. Strangely cruzinimage did not list them on ebay.uk and bought 1off from Germany. Only found the cruzinimage ones by searching ebay Australia!
There are listed three different fork tubes for the CB550:
K1, K2: 51410374003
F1: 51410390003
K3, K4: 51410404003
The differences are to do with the oil damping holes and some forks have a rebound spring and some not, but I never did find all the details.
This pic from an ebay listing in the US gave some detail of parts that the F had over the K1.
