CB550K 1976 and 1978 Handlebars the Same?
« on: July 13, 2006, 06:50:02 PM »
Quick question for new member - couldn't find the answer on search. Does anyone know if the 1978 CB550 stock handlebars were the same as the 1976 model?

Thanks in advance.

 Are you asking for width, rise, and pull differences?

The 78 had external wiring, the 76 internal.  But, adding holes is not that difficult.  I never noticed if the control locator pins were the same.

To clarify I wanted to know if I could cheap out and get a used 1978 bar set for my '76. I'm going to stick with a new OEM '76 - and thanks for the quick reply.
