Post by: firet49 on November 13, 2018, 11:05:44 PM: Hi
Can anybody with 3 leg engine bars fitted to their cb550 post a pic as i have bought a set but they dont seem to line up too well to the mounting holes.
Thanks

Not sure if you mean 3 fixing points but this is mine. Don't think it will show enough detail but without getting it back out of its vac bag it's the best I can do.

Did you fit your own?? Did you have to use longer bolts.
Thanks

Mine came with the bike and were fitted when the bike was being worked on to sort some poor running issues I had at the time. They didn't mention anything about them not fitting very well.
