Problem is Honda dont make that system any more (nor anybody else) dont think you can get baffles either, silly thing is you can get the older 500 system for less than that NEW from Dave Silver

miles off putting the exhaust on yet but the e bay auction caught my eye yesterday, pity  the 500 does not fit the 550,

so no one does repro  550 exhausts ?

No mate, not yet but someone has recently started doing 350 four ones so there is a dim glimmer of hope, I think the only thing stopping you putting the early "trumpet" type on is the exhaust brackets to frame, several years ago, much to my now dismay, i fitted a set of 77/78 pipes to a US 75 550 K2 and had to cut and shut the rear brake pedal to clear the exhaust so going the other way ought to work. Should you wish to come all the way over here i have 2 sets, one ofwhich you can trial fit but not buy if you wish
