Are these supposed to fit your bike? If so and they are high enough res. should be able to print and go, or is this just a sample of what you want? Either way, if I can help, I'd be happy to.

Repainted the badges. Reassembled. Couple quick test rides. Hope to clean it up and get some shots in the sun. Color is a bit weird, almost color shifting. At some angles it takes on a more ruddy ...

Got another top bridge off a 500k, just like my broken one. Fit perfectly. Almost done buttoning it all up. Hope to have it done tonight after work. Of course the weather turns to crap tomorrow bu ...

I think I'll try a small sanding block to remove the marks and then progressively finer wet or dry sandpaper.
I guess I was just hoping to remove some of the elbow grease required to do the job, It ...

Are they clear coated with anything?
Lately I've been pretty aggressive and it pays off, sand paper in variying grits, bronze wool and different polishes have worked well on my CB500 but I have no kn ...

A guy over at SOHC4 sent me a pic of his top brace.
I took his picture, made is a bit transparent and superimposed it over my picture. I added the blue circles where his 500 four bridge tube holes a ...

Here's my hasty measurements, again, it's Mother's Day and I'm am REALLY busy......more time later.
I tried to measure the offset of the lower bridge and it "seemed" close to 2" tought ...

I'll just duct tape the old one......not.

Okay, here's pics. From my hasty rudimentay measurements (it's Mother's Day, I shouldn't wrench today) the spread between fork holes is awefully close to ...

That's different than what I took off. What year is that one? I think as long as the top and bottom bridges are in a pair and the stem is the right size for the head and the tube holes are the right ...

Thanks for posting that.
So it seems I do probably have a 750 tree on there, or at least something other than a 500K since the top brace I got from Butch is from a 500 and doesn't fit. Bottom line, ...

That'd be great Butch, thanks. I don't feel like you owe me anything though, it's not your fault some PO put front end bits from a different bike on there! Thanks for your help figuring it out, I'd ...

Went to reassemble and discovered a major problem. What I think has happened was sometime in the past the front forks were replaced with a 750 triple tree. I think this simply because the riser on t ...

I have fork oil too. Manual says 10w-30. Other sites say don't use motor oil. I don't know. I have bigger problems, see fork brace thread.
