aftermarket exhaust, (badly needed) improved throttle action, and uni-filters... that's it? i have a '74 550 too and couldn't imagine hanging a knee like you have! thanks for showing what these old girls can do, awesome vdo!
hey man i got a 1975 cb550 with a 4 - 2 it sounds wicked and this bike fucking flies man there so fast like goodcat8 said these guys on there cbrs and gsxr's think there fast well on my 550 i can keep up with a 750 super magna. post some more vids of that bike man that thing is a screamer
Hey,the bike sounds great! What modifications have you made other than a great sounding exhaust. I've got a 1973 500 that I bored out and put 550 pistons in along with a street cam and performance valve springs. It's got 2-1 pipes on it but isn't any louder than stock and unfortnately doesn't sound as sweet as yours.
Thanks! The bike had a "mystery" 4-1 exhaust on it when I bought it. It was all one piece from the headers back to the canister. I have no idea who the manufacturer was. I cut off just the canister and mounted a supertrapp with as many spacer plates as possible. It also has 4 K&N uni-filters, one on each carb. Other than that I pretty much left the engine alone.
Other bike mods include a custom seat, clubman bars, and a modern throttle assembly and switchgear (off a Buell, actually).
Wow nice video and bike. My dad has one of these sitting in the backyard and I was thinking of working on it. This video makes me want to ride so bad. Thanks!
