500 gaiters & fork ears alternatives.
Oddjob:
Cb500T is the 500 Twin, like a CB450 Black Bomber but bored out a bit and modernised.
500K3, didn't come to this country Ted and TBH whilst I think they'll fit the design may be different due to it being for other countries.
Bryanj:
550 F and K are all same as the twin
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Looking at the fork ear design when it rains heavily what stops water from getting inside the gaiters through the slots cut out for the top yoke?
One of my forks was badly rusted behind the ears. Those black segmented inserts hardly appear very water tight.
Johnny4428:
Maybe more of a moisture trap than a protected area Ted.
Bryanj:
Honda wernt worried about that Ted, only the outside apesrance, especially as it would not rot out inside warantee!
