CB550 Exhaust
« on: September 24, 2007, 09:42:35 AM »
Are there any major differences between the engine and frame on a K3 and an F2?

For example, would an aftermarket 4 into 1 system that is fitted to a K3 fit an F2?

Hi Dave,although there are no major differences in the engine and frame from the K3 to the F2 it would depend on the exhaust being fitted,for example if it was a Marshall exhaust the part number is the same for K3 ans F2 so it would fit (one assumes),where as if it is a Motad they are slightly different.I have had both K3 and F2's over the years and have swapped exhausts between the two,but like i say it might depend on who the manufactures the system.I personally have never had any problems but i might just have been lucky...lol hope that helps mate

Thanks Perry.

The one I'm looking at is a Marshall and it's on a K3 however the "model No" says 500/550F so I think it will.

Just thought I'd check though.

Let's not bid against one another guys. That would be silly.

Looks different to mine. I think mine's very old.

Sounds good though!

You selling that one Steve? Will it fit a 550?

Well done,as you can see i was as good as my word and did'nt even bid...lol mind you that could have something to do with the fact that i managed to get hold of two N.O.S systems one for a K and the other is a F from holland, so a nice weekend  out and two new exhausts,can't be bad...lol still looking for the back wheel for you but my garages are so full of old crap it could be anywhere,but i will let you know mate

I'm happy with the price and would have paid a bit more.

Looking forward to giving a good polish and then fitting it.

Don't worry too much about the wheel Perry as I might get mine rebuilt with a new rim and spokes. There's a guy not too far away who'll do it for me.

Well ive got to have a bloody good clear out anyway,i collected so much stuff over the years (not just SOHC HONDA) my garages resemble breakers yards rather garages and a lot of the stuff was NOS that i picked up from jumbles,you should have a go at doing the wheel yourself mate,it does take a little time to get the wheel trued up but it's allways worth the experience if nothing else,the respoking is the easy bit...lol
