Help with fork lowers identification please

<< < (2/3) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My 500 front forks are 12" from the center of the front spindle to the top of the ally .

3scs:
The forks on both my 550 f2 and K3 are both around 14 inch

3scs:
Forget the above just taken the dust cover off they’re 354mm

Grewth:
Fork sliders would appear to be the later type off the CB550F or even the CB750F1 or K7.
If you're not aiming for a 100% standard bike, I'd stick with them as they are actually better forks than the early type.
Might be worth checking the overall length from the top of the tube to the axle centre and comparing it with the original type fork

Oddjob:
Look to be off a 550 as the 500 didn’t get the extra caliper mount on the right hand fork slider that yours clearly has. Most likely 550f1 as the f2 had longer sliders iirc.
