Hi guys, has anyone ever bought and fitted a CX front mudguard to their SuperDream/Dream?
Was it a straight fit?
Gee.

Certainly worth a try these front muddies really are getting hard to find , I bought one that was advertised as a front muddy for a Superdream around a year back but it was to big so gutted , still in my shed but a poor fit considered having it rolled to see if it can be made to fit and rechromed but an expensive route

I know its just a drawing, but it looks wider. Top one CX.   |

Right width and fitting to forks but the curve well off, don’t think it’s CX500 though maybe cb650

I have a -415- CX500 one, but never fitted it yet, as far as I know the only difference is the wee stick-out bit on the securing bracket inside slot. (DSS sold it as a CB400 fitment)
The non custom CX had the same front wheel on the early models, up to the E-model, which changed to a wider fork spacing and ND style font wheel (but wider)
So it should be ok.

I noticed some of the CX wheels were 2.15. When we have a get together for the decals, I will bring my spare front muddy up to compare as they are off the bikes. Gee. |

Nice one Ian.
If the bracket was changed then hey presto, I can get a bracket.
Great pics.
Gee.

Any luck with the CX500 front mudguards, I have an original round on on my 79 so, but it’s looking a bit rough now.
