Yep. But You might end up going faster than what the 160 gauge will read.........

Thanks Big Rich....will i need to do mods to it? I got a good deal on the light/speedo and a black bomber tank so i couldnt pass it up!

Maybe around the headlight ears. The 550 forks are probably wider than 160 forks, so you may need spacers to center the light. Other than that, I can't think of anything major. Unless the speedo cable is different. ........which I kinda doubt.
