The one from Germany looks well made, just costly postage :-[

Post by: Mcraig1982 on July 08, 2023, 11:02:21 AM: 76 500

I think the 500 & 550 are the same ?

76 500

The forks are different, there is no fitting point for a 2nd caliper arm on the 500 forks. They are completely different forks.

Post by: McCabe-Thiele (Ted) on July 08, 2023, 12:21:16 PM: Not able to zoom in on your right fork leg - if it has a calliper mounting point it should be a mirror image of the left side fork bolt lugs - four in total iirc.
Two top ones that hold fender & top arm pivot, large lower bolt, caliper adjustment bolt hole.

It depends what lower legs have been fitted.

Post by: Bryanj on July 08, 2023, 01:32:15 PM: Thats because its nothing like a standard 500, probably 550 forks, and riding without a mudguard/fork brace is asking for handling problems

Post by: Mcraig1982 on July 08, 2023, 02:55:36 PM: ? rides fine. Plus it never rains in the uk ;D

Post by: Bryanj on July 08, 2023, 06:03:24 PM: Wait till you hit a bump in a corner, without the brace the forks flex every which way

Post by: robvangulik on July 08, 2023, 08:20:14 PM: With that size front tyre handling won't be too good anyway :o
And the speedo will read too (s)low as well...

Post by: Bryanj on July 09, 2023, 08:27:16 PM: I can give you a pic of how to modify the plate as long as you have the two flat type hub
