compatable carbs for 1974 cb 550 four

[BooRadley]

I'm in the hunt for carbs that will fit my 1974 550 four and seen a guy sellin then on eBay for a 76 750 and said they are compatable with my bike. just wanted to know what carbs will fit on the bike so I can broaden my search

They do fit physically, you will have to jet according to your engine. Mine is bored to 594 and I have drag pipes. I still don't have the jetting right though. I am pretty sure I heated up the rubber parts of the manifold (in boiling water) and used the stock manifold (that bolts to the head.

550 parts are not rare or hard to find, so why complicate things by looking at 750 stuff too?
