Yes the K3 does Dom, but the 550K0, 550K1 and 550K2 had the old style raised cap, hence why I said they weren't what you were looking for.
Trigger:
You can easy use a CB550K0, k1 or K2 and buy a F/ K3 tank . I have a 550K1 with a F2 tank fitted.

No you can't, it doesn't fit. The seat isn't compatible with it, it's been discussed quite a few times and I tried it on my own 500, I seem to recall the tank is longer and the seat fouls it. I'm sure someone else will confirm. If you have an F tank on you have to also use an F type seat. Or even a K3 seat
Trigger:
DOM has said that he wants to do a cafe racer so, a cafe racer seat a different seat :o
DomP:
Yes that's a good point Trigger, any 550 will do in that case although finding one complete with the right carbs and tank might be the most straightforward option
