Going by the lack of front mudguard stay and the shape of the top of the carbs I'd say it's a 550K3, but I could be wrong.

judging by the tank and the carbs thats a 77-78 cb550.

The slight step in the seat would narrow it down to '78 550K since that was a one year only seat on the 550.

That slight step - if it's original - would make it a K4.

It has a gas tank cover lid like a 78.

Whatever it is it looks perfect to build. How much?

Buddyseat is not original. Striping on tank tells me it's a K3 and not a K4

US model 78 CB550K (minus the headlight and front turn sigs.)

Deltarider · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2013, 12:20:08 PM »

The latter looks like a K4 with a K3 tank to me. If I'm not mistaken, slight step seat and sidepanels are K4.

Didn't think you Yanks had the CBX550, it was a twin cam and most of them had a factoty fairing. I ought to know as i got an 82 one sat outside with only 29,000 on the clock. They had wierd, coverd inboard discs
