Just got enough of this bike sorted to ride comfortably. Still looking for a stock-like exhaust (somebody put a straight pipe on it and that's too loud for my taste, plus performs badly).

Nice looking bike, Blake. I had the same problem when I got mine.....no muffler. With the help of a pipe adapter from an auto parts store, I was able to put a HD Sportster muffler on mine. Total investment-$15.00. Sounds and looks good too.

Get the serial number off your frame and engine. Use the Model Guide on the home page here or just post the first 6 or 7 digits here and we can tell ya. There may also be a model plate on the steering neck.

Paul - is that the pipe you reference on your avatar pic? Pretty decent looking. My mechanic is pushing me to buy something performance-focused - like I need to go any faster

Good to see another Super Sport owner in western PA.

New to forum ... Just purchased a 78 CB550K ... I have already started stripping it down... plan on building a racer...I'll call it "Miss Fortune"

Very nice/clean looking 78. I like the choice of exhaust and those rims look clean too. Nice find.

Here is my 74 550 K0. 21,000 original miles, I cut down the front fender and powder coated it and the rear, painted the tank and side covers Honda Element Blue, lots of new parts and elbow grease, oh and just put in a Dyna s electronic ignition.

DarkRider · « **Reply #460 on:** June 07, 2009, 01:49:58 AM »

Some good looking bikes since last update...will probably update list later today

Woody · « **Reply #461 on:** June 10, 2009, 01:32:14 PM »

I suppose I should register, even though the bike is For Sale.

Here's my 77 CB550F Super Sport.

I have owned it for eighteen years.

Ecosse · « **Reply #462 on:** June 10, 2009, 01:52:02 PM »

Nice bike Woody. Maybe i can get my buddy to buy it.

Best of luck in the sell.

Ecosse · « **Reply #466 on:** June 14, 2009, 10:40:48 PM »

nice color there pirate'. what exhaust is that? and how about a bigger version of you avatar?

not too demanding am i? too many questions?

Pirateonjerseyshore · « **Reply #467 on:** June 15, 2009, 05:16:03 PM »

The muffler is a MAC megaphone. It sounds great, no need for any tuning at all either. I did however cut the baffle out to make it alittle louder. It runs and sounds great.

Here's my 73 CB500.

It runs but not well. It sat for about 4 years before I bought it. I'm going to be pulling the carbs to clean them this week.

Pirateonjerseyshore, I really like that tail light. You pick it up local or off internet?
