Will Nighthawk cv carbs work on cb550 f1

Hi, would CB 550 nighthawk CV carbs work on a cb550 f1? If so how much modification would it take if any?

Possibly, without too much hassle, but WHY? The cv carbs were problematic to say the least, my good ladies 650 nighthawk had them, nothing but aggro, 3 different sets and it still ran like a pig. You probably wouldn't be able to use the 550's airbox either, so that throws up other issues!

Thanks hairygit just a passing thought seen a set and got me self excited! Can calm down now and carry on down the sensible route.

Makes far more sense!
