It will bolt onto the engine but you will have to make your own brackeys to hang the silencer
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Yes it will work on your bike.  You will need to make a braket, be SURE TO USE RUBER in between braket and muffler!

that kit looks just like the one i got for my cb500F
in the photo you can see the littel black hanger it's just a piece of metal with elongated holes on both ends, my kit cam with the same thing in three different length
on my bike i needid the longest hanger in the kit.
i ended up making my own muffler, so i still have those hangers laying around somewhere
if you get the kit and need a longer hanger i can give you one if i have the right length

It fits the head.  Must adapt to the frame for mount.  Will need an additional center stand stop to keep the stand out of the drive chain.

Hey Fellas, This was the same unit on the "for sale" section of the forums i read previously, it does not look like
my Kerker at all, i've never seen one mismatched in finishes and the cannister looks suspiciously like a mac??
I would ask for "MORE" detailed photos before sending $$ or paypal, Just to be sure! Not trying to rain on anyones parade, it's just there has been an offloading of mis-matched pieces on Craigslist/Ebay and i know some of the members of "This" forum/site have been scammed or sold parts that did not fit, the only reason i say something is once you've paid
for the part(s) you're stuck with them unless you offload in the same manner!
Sincerely
