Hola from Ireland!! CB550 K
« on: February 25, 2017, 01:20:45 PM »
Hello all

At first, sorry about my english, I come from Spain, but I'm in Ireland since a short time back.

This is my purchase is a Honda Cb 550 K '77 (K3 I think, because of the fuel tank), the bike it seems a F Super Sport in the paintwork.

I like the motorbike, runs ok and its in good condition, some details need but nothing really important.

I would like to get better noise from the exhaust, I like the Carpy's 4-1 but I think is not possible to buy from here.

My intention is to change the handlebar, and try to find some beautiful seat, I love the Gb 500 seat.

Kind Regards

Judging by the handlebars and chromed rear light bracket that is a US import

Welcome, looks like a tidy bike.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Yes, the previous owner told me that the bike it was imported from California to Dublin.

The handlebar is to tall...... lower is better  8)

Yes, that is a nice looking bike. I like the look of the twin upswept silencers.
