500 K1 Steering column wanted
« on: October 08, 2022, 09:47:22 AM »
I believe the p/n is 53200-323-020B

Needs to be undamaged on the stops with good threads.

That top section is deffinitely different looks like a 400 if that is an ignition switch.

Is there a steering lock underneath the bottom section?

Thanks for looking Gary if that is an ignition switch in the top could be a 400 unit.

Yes quite likely - I'm not familiar with the 550.

No steering lock and ignition mount on the top yoke.

For some reason I have never used a steering lock on any of my bikes, usually I use a chain and padlock.
