Great survivor you've found there, I love 500/550s. I would get rid of those heavy later model pipes and put on a newer lighter system....and always be looking for a nice set of original pipes, that bike deserves a set a survivor pipes.

I finally got around to making a video about how I restore aluminum parts, like I did with this CB550K.

Here's the link, for anyone interested:
