Fork Ear/Headlamp bracket dimensions on a 500?

(1/2) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Can someone please advise me as to the distance (measuring at 90 degrees to the forks) between the centre of the fork tube and the hole for the headlamp mounting bolt in cms or mm.

I am not fitting gaiters I'm thinking of changing my existing headlamp bracket arrangement as the clamp brackets I suspect will  be too close to the petrol tank.

I have a feeling someone makes an aftermarket version that clamps to the forks with solid sides. Links welcome.

SteveW:
I can measure mine in the morning if that’s any good?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks no rush as I'm currently sorting out a couple of striped carb bowl threads.

I should have measured my old ones before I gave them away.
They were rotted out internally as well as rusty.

SteveW:
This is one of a pair I’ve had for years, not sure what year they are off but was told they are 500/550.
Centre of fork tube to centre of headlight fixing hole is 115mm.

My 550 K0 ones look different to the one in the picture, they are aware being chromed at the moment.

mickwinf:
steve they look like f2 or k3 550 items.
