Will a set of oem pipes from a 78 550 fit onto a 75?
« on: November 21, 2009, 07:34:25 PM »
I'm looking at a set of pipes for my 75 cb550k, and the pipes came off of a 78- they are the Oem pipes from the 78 they came off of. Curious if anyone knew if they would fit onto mine?
Thanks-
Rob

Not without a hack job on the rear brake pedal and those 77/78 pipes are worth a fortune if good as Honda dont make them anymore

Put a picture of the pipes up.

Are they 4 into 4?

Naaa, 77/78 4-4 pipes are worthless.  Toxic even what with all those heavy metal contaminants.  Better send them to me for proper disposal.  ;D

If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
