Fitting a Delkevic exhaust system on my CB550F 1977

Not sure if this helps you, but this is what is with a system I bought [ Guests cannot view attachments ] to put on a 550f. Ive since changed my mind and am hoping it will go on the 500 Im currently working on.

Let me know. I don't think it will. For a 500, I think you need the bracket I have received. If all else fails in the communication with Delkevic, we can always switch brackets and rubber stops, as it would seem as if you have gotten the version I need, and I have the version you need

OK, Sounds like a swop could be in order. I too have emailed Delkevic to ask if I need a different bracket, Ill let you know the outcome.

I have always ordered the one for the bike i am fitting it to. The strange thing with the Delkevic site, is if you put in CB500 Four if comes up with part number COM3299 but, HDR000B should be the same fitting for that style of pipes.
I have never measured up different frames to see if there is any difference on the foot peg location. I know Motad used to fit all but, the silencer on the Motad had a big slide adjuster on the silencer to position the bracket .

You will have to email Delkevic, send some pictures of your problem to find the answer

Mmh, I am getting HDR000B for the CB550F, but HDR000A for the CB550K. I wonder what the difference is between those two parts.

I will call them and try and get some answers.

550F has different frame loops for the rear footrests than the 550K which has the same as the 500K. I seem to recall the frame loops on the 550F had the bolt for the footrests farther back than the 500/550K which looks to be the problem you have with the wrong bracket.

A CB500 and a CB550K is 290mm from the bottom rear engine bolt to the footpeg hanger bolt .
The CB550 F1, F2 is 300mm at the same measurement so, 10mm more

Amazing how 10mm can spoil all my plans for riding this summer!

Update on this: Delkevic is sending me new brackets and rubber stops that should fit my bike. Will keep you guys posted.
