Topic: Are 73 cb500 and 75 cb550 exhaust the same?

[timeguy87]

Will these parts interchange? Thanks

Yes, if they are stock.

k550 exhaust does  fit on a non k500 frame, but you can't use your back brake and have to use the 550k kickstart arm.

Last year I got a 'brand new' kirker for my 500 four. The model was made for 550 and it will fit fine except that it hangs a little lower than the old kirker that I havent needed to replaced quite yet even though I bought that one in 1978! Guess thats why I paid so much for it then (exactly half the cost of the bike)

I picked up some pipe with a vance and hines can on it, and the collector hangs up on the brake, it's for a 550 and it's on a 500.
