77’ CB550K frame hoop + stock seat?
« on: January 07, 2020, 11:30:20 am »
Hey everyone I’m thinking of putting a frame hoop on my 77’ CB550K and was wondering if I can do it and retain the stock seat. Any info and pictures would be appreciated. Thanks!

Depends entirely upon the "hoop" you have purchased. Unlikely, but not impossible as most aftermarket hoops are styled for Cafe or Brat seats.

If you plan to use the stock seat I don't see any benefit to the hoop.

The benefit is to clean up the back end, to have integrated tail light and signals, and that’s basically it

the stock seat would cover both the stock rear frame brace and any "brat" style frame hoop, so once again, what is the use?
