cb550 Inlet Manifolds
« on: April 06, 2020, 03:29:01 am »
Hi, I am hoping someone can help.  I have a CB550 which had PC46C carbs.  I have a set of 069A carbs which are complete and in great condition which I want to put on.  I know I need some new manifolds as the carb balancing screws are in the manifold compared to the carbs (PD46C).

Does anyone know which years and model would fit the 069A carbs to the 550 motor?  It seems the 75-77 CB550F is the one to go for, but are there any others?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

 Any 500 or 550 manifolds will work as long as they're not the PD manifolds.

Many thanks, that's exactly what I need.  People selling on ebay seem to have no idea on what they are selling

 You will also need the correct throttle cable(s). And if you're still running the stock air box, the correct air box rubbers for the plenum.
