Dont think they come anywhere close as nighthawk is a DOHC isn't it?

Double Overhead Camshafts.

The CB550 is a single overhead camshaft engine so the engines are completely different.

DOHC - double overhead cams. I think Brian's right about the nighthawk being a twin cam, I'd geuss the cylinder centers distance would be similar and diameter of pipes but really it's an unknown experiment as to whether the pipes will fit.
