Will a cb550 super sport exhaust fit on a K model 550?

Wel I dont know for sure but on the 750, the spacing is the same. I would assume so on the 550 as well.

I believe the header will fit, but the muffler mounts are differant.

To have it bolt on the flanges tightly and correctly I had to bend the F pipe on my 550k. I tightened the pipe on w/o the gaskets and then used a blow torch, a 24" 1/2" drive extension, and a 230lbs friend to slowly coerce the pipe into a position that was clear of the frame and pedal. You will then have to get creative with the rear brake arm.
