It's the upper part of the fork that goes in the triple tree. 1978-1980 is 37mm diameter.

Even better if you can measure it. I'm seeing that some fork legs are 33mm. But mine are 37. Oh, manuals call them legs. I saw "piston" somewhere...The Brits call them stanchions. *sigh* (geez, people, let's get a standard here! just kidding.)

Would you have a muffler to sell? Either side, can be ugly but must still have baffle.

I think I have the radiator shroud for the cx500.  I'll bring it along.

Lets work something out for the handlebars.  If there the ones I'm looking for. 

Mine are bent, I'll bring mine along to compare.

Still have this stuff. I'm also thinking about selling the seat if anyone is interested. It has been recovered and is in good shape no rips/tears and the pan has almost 0 rust. I also have the speedo/tach/dash (working w/28k miles) from another 78, it is ok but has a crack in the plastic.

$5 should cover the shipping so $60? If you think that's too much let me know we can work something out. I'm not looking to make anything just fund more parts I need.
