O.D. of CB500 550 head pipes????
« on: December 23, 2009, 07:35:35 PM »
I need the dimension at the outlet end of the head pipes, as I am selling a Bassani muffler. It has the collector built in and the I.D. is approx. 1- 5/8".

I will post it in the F/S section after I take a pic on 12/24!

I'm thinking 1 1/4" if I remember right.  I need to build a new exhaust from the head back.
