'74 cb550 airbox fit a '78 cb550?
« on: July 15, 2014, 05:31:17 AM »
I have a '78 550k with a missing airbox. Another forum member has one from his '74 550 available. Anyone know if there were frame changes that would mean the '74 would not fit?

 I believe the airbox is the same but the rubber boots that go to the carbs are different. You can get the '77-78 boots.
 There may be minor differences on the EPA/breather stuff, but the actual box "should" fit with the correct boots.
