Do the 550f side covers fit the 550k bikes?

looks like you're going to make some super sweet 550F covers!

and I'm almost certain that K's and F's are different.

What year CB550F is the hottest? I found a set for a 75. Is that cool for everyone?

If I am not mistaken, 74 - 78 F covers are all the same.

What's next?  How about a billet aluminum airbox that looks kewl.  Or, new dash that uses the jewels.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

FLOAT BOWLS!!!  FLOAT BOWLS!!!  FLOAT BOWLS!!!

We want 'em!  I'd prefer the PD style (77 & 78) but I know I am probably outnumbered by the earlier style guys.

Make 'em happen, Frankenstuff, and we will buy them!  I've bought from you before, so you know I'm good for it!
