cb550 exhaust
« on: July 15, 2005, 05:41:39 PM »
Will exhaust applications for the cb550 fit on both k and f models for all years? Or is there a difference between the diameter manifolds from year to year?

The exhaust ports on the engine are all the same for all years.  So, there is no issue there.  However, frame mounting positions are different between F and K.  And the, I think, the 77-78 frame mounts are different than earlier Ks.  Not certain though.  Mine still has the stockers on it.
