500 and 550 exhaust gaskets
« on: April 12, 2010, 12:16:16 PM »
 I'm trying to get up an order and I can't find CB500 exhaust gaskets. The sites I'm looking at list CB550 gaskets.....are they the same?

Yes they are the same size.  A good internet tool is the ability to look up and cross reference part numbers to see if bikes use the same part. Check out the FAQ on this site under "where can I get parts for my sohc?"  It's really helpful.
Good luck!  And make sure you've got the old ones out before putting the new ones in!
