The 13.8 seal looks to have superceded the 14.0 seal, most likely to make it grip the shaft better.

The 13.8 seal looks to have superceded the 14.0 seal, most likely to make it grip the shaft better.

I ordered from 2 different vendors, 1 indicated it was 14mm, the other indicated 13.8 mm (on the websites).  Both Honda seals, when I received both, I measured and both were the same(13..  With the magnifying glass, both were marked 13.8.

I installed this afternoon and will try to go on a ride in the few days, hopefully it won't leak.  I wrapped the end of the gear shift arm with tape, lubed up the seal and the gear shaft, it went on easily.

What does that run $, looks really nice!!
Bet it will be throatier than stock, I'm not a fan of loud bikes, some noise, but not loud stuff. I enjoy listening to music at other times too much to ruin it with loud exhausts and road noise...

Yes, the 4into1 was a little too loud for my liking.

Dennis, did this 4 into 4 system from Delkevic for your 550K come with any mounting hardware ?

[denward17]

^Yes, came with all the hardware and brackets needed.

I'm buying a good,old 76' CB550F which has a 4 into 2 system (Mac or Jardine?) using the original K headpipes?.. The owner names it Dash.
 I love the look of your 4 into 4 stock K system So much that I'm considering the same one. I don't know whether the 76' CB550F frame will be able to do it,but I hope so.

I really like them, but I'm not sure they fit an 'F' model.  Thought I read the rear foot peg frame area was different, or maybe that was just the 750.

There would be an issue mounting a 550K exhaust on an F.

Bill - you buying Mooshie's bike?  Her's was named Dash.

Hey Kelly...here are a couple pics of Lisa and her bike, "Dash".  Pretty remarkable Lisa's long distance trips on that bike.  And it won BOTM 10 years ago...
