78 CB 550 Grab Rail ???
« on: July 20, 2010, 08:17:57 AM »
Are there any years that are interchangeable ? I need one but cannot find one from the year !!  I can retrofit the turn signals if need be. Thanks for any replies

Only the 77 and 78 K grab rails were identical on the Cb550, and worked properly with the stock seat.
The grab rail matches with the seat type used.
If the seat is changed, then use the grab rail for that model seat.

Also, the 77-78 K had very different turn signal mounts than all the rest of the 500-550 models.
