I know that the exhaust pipe on this CB 500 K3 is not original.
But what exhaust pipes are these, are they for cb500/550 K K1 K2 ?
Where can one buy them?
Do they fit right on or must there be adjustments made ?

Thanks for reading.

What about the rear fender? It looks a little odd to me looks longer after the tail light. Maybe a camera angle ???

Haha. Sorry but I have no idea why the extra extended mudflap must be on the fender. I've seen plenty of that kind on other bikes. My CB500K3 has in any case no such a thing and I promise it will never have.

They are 500/550 from 71 through 76 and can only be fitted if you modify (by cutting and welding) the kickstart and rear brake pedal.

They are also discontinued now as well as the 77/78 550
