Welcome! That's a nice 550!
I'm rebuilding one that looks just like it, with almost identical mileage, now - except it actually still has the OEM pipes, in decent shape, too. It's the 'star' of my next book. I'm still curious how these pipes have survived so long, given that they normally self-destructed around 10k miles or so.
