CB500/550 / Re: CB550 K0 Front Fork Tubes

Thank you everyone for the Advice, which was useful for me. I've decided to go with a used set of Front Forks and if need be, get these re-chromed. I should end up with some spare bits ! The Guy I used before had a lot of recommendations. Like a lot of one man businesses the comms weren't good.

Hi Matt, yes I finally made ! Thanks for the heads up.

CB500/550 / CB550 K0 Front Fork Tubes
« on: June 27, 2023, 11:34:45 PM »
So I stripped down the front end of my American import 1974 CB550 K0 and found some wear on the Fork Tubes and rust on the unprotected area. Decided to get them re-chromed and after looking at various Companies choose one and sent them off. Several weeks later no news started chasing and can't get an answer, now suspecting they never arrived. What ever the reason I now need to find new Fork Tubes. Looked at ebay and can see plenty of Tubes rustier than my originals. Trying to find some new ones the right size (I believe they vary) and the only ones I have found are in America, Cycle Smith Parts Accessories. They are priced at nearly 200 pounds for the pair, but got to add 108 pound postage and duty.  Any help and advise would be much appreciated.
