Here is mine. Just got it over the weekend.

Nice! K5 or 6?

I love the K5's in Planet Blue Metallic.
Thanks. She's a K6. My first mororcycle. The OD shows 6900 miles...not sure that's legit. Feel like I'm just starting life.
JeffSTL,
She's definitely a Beauty .

Thanks grcamana2. I was having a beer looking it over tonight and I think the 6900 miles might be for real. I think everything is stock and original except for the exhaust

and the back tire. I think the front tire is the original Dunlop Gold Seal F6 which looks in good condition but will have to go right away.

Do you plan on raising those numbers on you're Odometer ?

grcamna2- yes sir, hope to roll that odometer over someday.

Kap384- Thanks.

Very nice K6 Jeff. I've got one myself. I agree, give me a stocker

kap384@telus.net · « **Reply #380 on:** April 30, 2012, 01:16:04 PM »

Fell down the list quite a distance. Thought I'd bring it back to the top.

The only things not from the factory: tires, tubes, plugs, oil filter+bolt, fork seals, petcock assembly, fuel line, and the carb gaskets.

I'm pretty sure that the air filter is the original from 1977 (only 8k miles and it looks good, but

With that filter it is the years not just the mileage.
Open up the folds in one of those paper filters and you can find all sorts of crud and bug wings ,etc.,.

Here's my 75

Here's one I just finished for a friend. A nice stock 77 CB550 SuperSport (F). He's thinking of going to Yellow Stone on it from Ohio.

Nice job, what kinda muffler is that?

That is the stock 550F muffler, almost rare to see it that cond these days (very prone to rust and only made 3 years).

The bike looks fantastic but that seat looks out of place. Why not go stock?

The bike isn't mine. My friend does have the stock seat for it. He just likes this one. I know it looks out of place. He's a small guy and only has a 29" inseam. I think this seat makes him feel secure and comfy.

The muffler is stock but it has two holes on the end where it reduces down at the end. They are are on the wheel side and kind of out of site. Bike has 36k on it.

I think that seat was a factory option?
Mine had one just like it when I got it.... though I ripped it off, obv. AS well as the WindJammer and highway bars.

Back then the Japanese were far too conservative to put a seat like that on anything, aftermarket for sure.....
That seat was typical of the American market, no where near as common anywhere else....

Thanks kap384! Your '77 is awesome. I started wanting a K bike and then found this '76 SS in decent shape and running. Now I'm an SS fanboy

Not sure exactly. I cant really tell the difference between super bars and euro bars, but i imagine they are one of those. They were on the bike when i bought it. I think they look way better than the tall stock bars.

Remember that is 6,900 miles but 33 years!!!
Better check that oil sump for rubber cam chain roller chunks.
