'83 Nighthawk 550
« on: October 05, 2017, 06:05:53 AM »
Is this motor a CB 550 Four as in 70's 550's ?  Have only seen this bike online, not in person.

'82 was the last year of the SOHC/4 Nighthawks, and it was a 650 not a 550. The SOHC/4 version never came in the 550 size.

If you need any parts for it, yes.
