Title: Hola from Ireland!! CB550 K
Post by: urquattro on February 25, 2017, 01:20:45 PM

Hello all

At first, sorry about my english, I come from Spain, but I'm in Ireland since a short time back.

This is my purchase is a Honda Cb 550 K '77 (K3 I think, because of the fuel tank), the bike it seems a F Super Sport in the paintwork.

I like the motorbike, runs ok and its in good condition, some details need but nothing really important.

I would like to get better noise from the exhaust, I like the Carpy's 4-1 but I think is not possible to buy from here.

My intention is to change the handlebar, and try to find some beautiful seat, I love the Gb 500 seat.

Kind Regards

Judging by the handlebars and chromed rear light bracket that is a US import

Yes, the previous owner told me that the bike it was imported from California to Dublin.

The handlebar is to tall...... lower is better  8)
