Only if you fit the tank as well, the seats are a different length so you either get a gap or its too long to close

Bryan is correct but isn't a 1975 a CB550? I believe the 1973 CB500 and 1974-76 CB550K all fit the same.  CB550F supersport and 1977-78 CB550K are different.

The U.K. may have had a '75 CB500   [OP is in London]

Yes, we still had 500K1 in 1975 in our UK model  range. The 1st 550 we got was the F1 in 1976.
