CB550K3 pipes on a CB750K7
« on: August 09, 2006, 03:31:19 PM »
Anyone know if they will fit?
Or visa versa.
I'm picking up a 750K7 tomorow with a 4:1 pipe and also have a 550K3 with 4:4 pipes that are starting to rust.
As I can't get new 550 pipes can I play mix and match with the 750K7 ones, as they are still available from DS?
In the UK anything over 40 years old only needs insurance and Fuel.

...???...I just bought a complete set of the "trumpet" 4:4 pipes for a 550K...They're still available here in USA...or do you mean the 4:4 megaphone pipes for the 550F??

The 550 has an upright engine; the 750 is inclined...I doubt if the spigots will line up at the correct height or angle...not to mention muffler mounts in different places...
