CB500 Frame differences U.S. vs UK

(1/2) > >>

Hi there. Apologies in advance if this question has been asked already, I did a search on 'frames' and a lot came back :D.

Anyone  know of any frame differences between a UK bike registered 01 Jun 1972 and U.S. frames 1971-176?
Thanks,
Scott

Trigger:
The UK and USA  500 frames are the same and the 500 frame was also used on the USA 550K0, K1 and K2 as far as i am aware  ;)

Scotty67:
Fantastic, thank you!

Scotty67:
PS. The 500 I bought came with a spare 550 engine. I assume that will bolt in OK? Cheers Scott

Trigger:
It will fit but, the rear engine bracket is different on the 550 and don't expect anymore power as both engines are rated at 50 BHP  :o
