35mm stantions, 4 stud bottom clamps, definitely drum brake, only marking i can find on them is HF

They aren’t a matching set.
For the one on the left, the location of the drain screw shows that its for the right side.
For the right one, that looks like a side reflector mounting surface at the bottom. So its likely newer than most of us were thinking.

So far I’m guessing Honda or something unexpected like Harley.
Post a pic of the other side.

I thought those look somewhat familiar, especially the boss for the drum brake. I believe they're from a 1976 Honda MR 250 Elsinore (had one back in the mid 80s). Here's a set on Ebay, they look the same except the one fork's lower leg is missing a fender mount.

Actually these look closer. They're from a Honda MT 250 Elsinore. Difference between the "Elsinore" models: CR- Motocross, MR-Enduro, MT- Dual Sport.

Edit... Maybe a CL250 as well

Flywheel, I’m impressed.

Outer left fork tube Honda part # 51521-340-300.
The SL350K2A has a drum brake with a stay that bolts up to the boss.
The XL250A has a drum brake that uses the raised section that I thought was for a side reflector.

Thanks for the kind words. I believe this is a result of my youth: a pre-driver licensed teen scouring the local motorcycle salvage yard trying to keep his dirt motorcycle operational while on a income of a paper route, cutting grass and shoveling snow.
