【HONDA】Front Fork Cover Review

Diverted to CL250

It is for REBEL250, and a certain shop had released a video of it being installed.
I tried to imitate and install it.
The Fork diameter of REBEL and CL250 are the same, but the Pitch of the Top Bridge and Bottom bracket are different, so an O-ring (*) is added and adjusted for installation.
Still, it is a little short and the Rubber at the bottom protrudes a little.
Since someone has already explained how to install it, we will omit it here.

*Please enter the following as a Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) We prepared two of them, one for each.

I thought it was a plastic part until it arrived, but it was made of steel and had a nice texture,
The front is blacked out, which tightens it up considerably.

It's only an OEMOption.
The non-reusable bolts (Caliper bolt, FenderMounting bolt) that are removed in the process required for replacement are securely attached and can also be used on the CL250.
There are a variety of similar parts available, but they are very affordable as long as you can install them on your own.
(I think the labor cost will be more expensive if you ask the Shop to do it for you.)

However, there are two drawbacks.

First:Low accuracy of installation.
It is fixed between the Blinker and the bottom bracket.
The inner diameter of the Fork Guard is 1.5mm wider than the Fork Diameter.
When the Cover is shaken, the top of the Cover hits the Fork inside and makes a cracking sound.

It should be installed in the same condition in REBEL's SEdition.
Unlike the REBEL, the CL250 is a vehicle designed for driving on rough roads.
It will definitely scratch the Fork due to internal rubbing and vibration.

If it is the top of the Fork, it is functional even if it is scratched.
It would be strange to see more scratches because of the Cover.
Rubber sheet was wrapped inside to prevent vibration.

0.Wrap a 5mm-thick rubber sheet around the interior and attach only a portion of 1mm.
The former alone still moves, so I use a combination of different thicknesses.
0.If you wrap 5mm and 1mm half way around each, it should be perfectly fixed.
We gave a little extra room because it would be troublesome if the rubber deteriorated and became stuck or shifted during installation.


Second:Water gets in, it doesn't get out.
There is a slight overlap with the first one, but there is a gap between Fork and Cover.
Avoid high water pressure when washing the car with or without the addition of Rubber Sheet.
The rubber attached to the bottom is firm enough so that even if water gets inside, it won't come out from the bottom.
Both Fork and Cover are rusty.
To be precise, the iron Cover rusts first, and the Fork receives rust.

It is recommended for CL250 as well, although some work is required. View detail

More and more Stylish

It's been two months since I installed it, and I've heard from acquaintances The Matte look just got even better. He praised me.
SteelCB400T is not bad, but Black makes Rebel even cooler.
It protects Rust etc. of CB400T and I feel very happy to install it.
We recommend installing at the same time as Boots. View detail

Fork upper tube cover

Purchased with the following protective covers, a set of two. If you install it, you'd better buy it up and down together, otherwise the front fork will have to be disassembled twice, so I bought two pairs of up and down at once. In addition to being good-looking, it is good-looking, otherwise the color of the black front fork showing a section of stainless steel is really not good-looking. The workmanship is perfect, and there is no need to worry about the quality of the original factory. It is recommended to purchase, and it is recommended to purchase the next set at the same time. ---------------------------------------------- Purchased together with the following protective cover, a set of two.
