Anyone in the EU (not UK) who has a spare front and rear mudguard for a CB550F?

[Sesman]

Dave Silvers sells the same front fender for both 750 and 500, as far as i know the one he sells has rubber mounts and top hat washers at all the mountings where the 500 didnt so you need either all the mounts or penny washers

That’s the one I bought…fits mighty fine and was identical in every way to the original I scrapped.

Don't know why but I forgot about the cable retainer on the lower brace, saying that I stopped using the chrome type mudguard back in the 80s. Far too prone to rust and damage.

Thank you all for the replies! And Phil, thank you for the pictures! It looks exactly like the thing I want to do! I can just spot the mounting holes before the fender goes under the seat, but I can't see of you are actually using those mounting holes, or if they are empty?

Sorry for the delay Alex, haven't been on the forum. From memory, I used the top 2 mounting holes and the rear side mounting holes - and only had to modify slightly, but as the guard is (thinish) SS, wasn't to far from original standard mounting hole postions (and no rusting issues. But worth a try at such a cheap price.

Like Sesman, I fitted the DS one without issues

This is the DS aftermarket part you all fitted, right?

No, it was the genuine mudguard of the 750

To be fair the replica one I had for my 750K2 was just as good

And we all agreed that these would fit like sh** on our bikes, right? They look so fine and new and the price is so hard to beat. But that won't help anything if they don't fit the bikes though

A guy close me me locally is selling a front fender for a CB750 K0-K2. From what I can see on CMS, CB550F (my model) shares fender model with the CB750 K2. Can anyone with better knowledge and experience than me see if this fender will fit a CB550F?

Alex, where did you get those pics from? That's not a genuine front guard as the hydraulic brake line ring isn't welded to the brace but I'd like to see if I can buy that bracket separately as it would come in very handy for when you do the twin disc conversion.

I got them directly from the seller! I wrote him a few times already though with no response. Can double down on the effort if you are interested!

Just wondered where that separate cable clamp was sourced from. No problem

[Laverdaroo]

of any interest?
