75 cb550 - Can I use F pipes on a K?
« on: August 19, 2008, 07:24:13 AM »
I've just about given up on finding affordable stock pipes for my bike.  The aftermarket 4 into 2's it came with are a bit rusty and have a few small holes on the underside.

Came across an affordable set of 550F stock 4 into 2's,  can I put these on the K?  Will I need to make changes near my pegs(rear brake/kickstart)?  Should I just let these go to someone with an F model?

No 550 ever had stock 4 into 2 so they must be aftermarket and may well fit but require different brackets
