Topic: exhaust pipes

[wv550]

can anyone tell me if you can interchange exhaust pipes between 550 hondas and 550 yamahas or kawasakis or suzukis? i'm haveing a hell of a time finding a set of pipes for my 75 550k1 honda and thought if i can interchange them from another bike in the same cc class my search would be easier.

Where are you at? I have a set off a 72 500 that look to be the same as my 78 550. Both swing arm's have the sticker this is a factor exhaust. 4 to 1

i live in bunker hill west virginia, that's near martinsburg.

Yeah, a 550  Kawasaki 2-1 collector will slip over your 550 honda head pipes. I don't know about the rest of the Kawasaki system, but I've run 2-1 mufflers on my 550s before.

If you've got the $$$ your local honda shop should be able to get them for you.  Mine were priced at $285 PER PIPE- Yikes-more than I paid for the bike!

Good Luck!

David Silver has 500 (323) exhausts for £79 each NOS.  These look the same as the American 550 4-4 exhausts.  No doubt the mountings and rear footrest mounting would be different.
