CB500 K1 Rebuild
Sesman:
Mmmmm, Marvin. Pipe of choice for the 500 back in 1975. Bloody loud though, as I recall.
Charlie J:
Nice deep rumble with the removable baffle fitted. Deafening with it out. Think I'll be leaving it in, rather than risk the wrath of the neighbours!
SteveD CB500K0:
I had a Piper too (avatar).
I took the baffle out once.
That was enough.

I can't guarantee that they will fit a 550 as I have got a 500. They are advertised as fitting both. I'm sure others on here will know if there are any differences. Or you could give Wemoto a call. I found them very helpful.

As a rule of thumb you can get pipes to interchange from cb500 to cb550 but you'll need to play around with the rear footrest hangar and also be wary of having a stop for the centre stand which can hit the chain if the required stops aren't in the right place on the exhaust brackets / system. In other words be prepared to spend time drilling, cutting, and bending steel or alloy if interchanging exhausts from cb500 to cb550. I have always chosen exhaust systems for these bikes based on what I can get cheap. Currently I have a laser 4 into 1 fitted, not too loud unless you really use the throttle, then it's pretty anti social.
