Muffler for 77 CB550F
« on: September 23, 2015, 12:28:39 PM »
Been lurking here since I got my first motorcycle, a 77 CB550F, a few months ago; the manuals have been an amazing help! When I bought my bike, the stock muffler was gone. The stock 4 into 1 headers are still on there. I've been riding it without a muffler for a while and, after taking care of more critical issues, I, my hearing, and the neighbors are ready for a muffler. Problem is, I can't seem to find anything that will fit. The outside diameter at the terminus of the exhaust is 2 1/8" or 5.4mm. The largest aftermarket I'm seeing is 1 3/4" and those are designed to slip over and have a friction fit with the mount holding it in. Am I missing something here? I am very much in the process of learning, so please forgive me if this question is ridiculous.

Hi, fdt. I have the same year and bike as you and have wondered the same - you are not alone.
Seems that we need a coupler/reducer to adapt a 1 3/4" to a 2", like this:


I also found this online that will slip on to your existing headers:

I have a stock 550F muffler for sale. Chrome is very good but there are rust holes that need to be repaired by braising. $50 shipped.

Took me 12 months searching around here for a decent original muffler (my 750F) but it DID happen! Worth the wait! Nothing looks better.....

Yes, I think so.

Did you buy the 550F?!

Not yet, waiting on more photos from the owner. It’s about 3 hours away. I would need to sell my K model

I would be hard pressed to find that muffler I think.
