Tels CB550 project
TezzerTel:
Here you go the long awaited photos of what I have
Bryanj:
In the lower pic take the RH one and without lifting off the table rotate it 180 degrees and look at it, the nut changes holes as it were, the holes in the rubber are both the same size with the bolt one having a steel insert tube, you then rotate the stem 180 degrees and fit it then rotate the head 180 so it faces backwards.
I know it works as i have done it, yes it looks different each side but can you look at both sides at same time and do you want it perfect or working
TezzerTel:
The trouble is if I rotate it 180° degrees then the nut is on the outside. Dont both nuts need to be on the inside so it clamps up?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Your 550 might be different to my 500 K1, I have the US type rear grab rail, mine is powder coated in black as the chrome was rusty. Difficult to get my camera in, your brackets look handed as they should be. Do these photos help?
On mine the captive nut is facing the front of the bike with both nuts on the inside front.
Looking at your photo the one in the lower photo on the left is for the right side, the othe is for the left side?
Daft question, were the indicators fitted when you bought the bike or were the parts loose in boxes?

They were fitted but I didn't take any photos. I can fit them and they will both be in the forward or rearward hole. The brackets are handed but the rubber are not
