To my eyes it’s on the inside.

I only have mine on the outside as i don't have a footpeg. Mine is a 550K1 which is the same frame as a CB500 four.

Just managed to fight my way through the garage to check mine….it’s on the inside of the footrest mount.

I found this picture on our american sister forum. Although it is a CB750, the bracket looks more like the type I need to mount it on a CB550F2, as the mounting hole for the passenger peg is shot backwards like that, thus allowing the muffler to be mounted properly, the centerstand rubber stop to still function correctly all the while still being mounted securely.
Two questions:
1. Can I let the muffler hang without the mounting bracket for a while, or will that be too heavy and comprosise the structure of the mounting pegs on the engine block?
2. I have attached the muffler with a tension band that secures with some screws. I feel like I have tightened it tremendously, but when I rev the engine, fluid still seeps out where it is attached. How hard am I supposed to torque these screws on the tension band? Also, do you guys use some sort of gasket goo before attaching the muffler?

The pictures Nurse Julie put on is a CB550 F1, which is the same frame, footpeg hanger and set up as a 550F2.
If the silencer is not supported, you run the risk of the exhaust studs being snapped in the head ;)
The Delkevic should come with a tube of exhaust sealer .
