Please help me identify my CB550

(1/2) > >>

Neilw:
I've just purchased a CB550 but don't know what model it is, so I need some help before I go off and buy the wrong parts.

It was first registered in the UK in 1978.

The engine number is CB55OE 1154708
The Frame number is CB550F 2114920

It's got an aftermarket Motad 4-1 exhaust.

And that's as far as I have got.

Thanks for your help, Neil.

Pictures of the bike and the top of the Carb, if helpful.

Nurse Julie:
That looks like a CB550 F1 or F2.
Edit....more like an F2 especially registered in 1978.

Oddjob:
Cb550F1, F2 didn't get the fork bellows although they could have been fitted after.

If it's an F1 the clock faces will be green but blue if it's an F2

mickwinf:
has a pair of Koni shocks, nice to have

Neilw:
Quick update, discovered the Frame Vin is CB550F 2114920, which would make it a CB550 F3. (I'll update OP).

Do the tank and seat look right for this model?

Edit, now looks like a F2 as there was no F3.
