Title: Side Panels
Post by: sgd37 on July 08, 2017, 07:24:42 PM

Hey everyone

Hope you're having a good weekend. Can anyone identify the side panels in the picture? and if so where could I get some?

Cheers

Look like they could be cb550f panels

  They sure look like them. Try L.P.M. for good quality repro ones, about £30 each, often they advertise on e-bay as well.

Great thanks!

Do you know if they would fit a cb500 frame?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one, maybe someone on here has both models and could compare them.

A 550F panel doesn't fit a 500 four frame ;)

According to the http://www.sohc4.net/cb550-faq/

the left sides fit all years but the right side differs on one mounting. Maybe it won't be too difficult to modify

Never believe everything you read ! Bottom left mount needs to come out 10mm. Top right front mount needs rotating 90 and the bottom mount needs to come up by about 25mm and out by 10mm.
Don't ask how I know this  ;D
