Hello from Sweden! Cb500k3 77"
« on: January 29, 2013, 04:52:41 PM »

Bought me a cb500k3 77" last summer.
Ignition switch base unit broke so did not ride it that much and it was late summer so
decided to rest it for the year. I hope I can get some answers to some parts I want to replace.
Thanks in advance.

The 77-78s cb 500/550 k3-4 model differencies are confusing If anyone knows about it feel free too enlighten me.
I have read here on the forum that K3 was available in Europe in 500cc form, 
only the cylinders,piston kits and carb jets and of course the side cover emblem :o  are different to the 550 everything else is same as 550K3
also the  CB550K (4?) 77-78 looks too be very similar.

No. I have not met that motorcycle maniac. I know a girl who used to run
motorcycle with "him" a long time ago. Very dangerous and stupid stuff I think.
Oh yeah. And Pippi was cool :)
