CL350, exhaust, K1 vs. K4, K5?

[Barney Rubble]

Hello my friends.
regarding the above, is there any difference between the lower silencer (muffler) between a k1 and later k4 or k5? Bottom line, will they interchange? If not, does anyone know what is different please? Having seen pictures of both, they look the same to me. I know the k0 single outlet one is quite different (maybe it would fit if it was changed as a complete system? But as they are unlikely to turn up, that point is moot).
My bike is a 71, which I understand is k1. I have a pic of it on my intro page.
All info, as ever, most welcome.

In the US models, a '71 is actually a K3 (released February of '71, K1 was from May of '69).

Looks like mine is a K3, then. Exhaust therefor will likely be the same across all twin muffler bikes. Thanks mate!

Just noted from builders plate, it was made December 1970, so that will be a '71 model year spec bike then. As it is a U.S. bike, that should make it a K3.

Hey Barney,

How's Bamm Bamm these days and Betty? Have they invented the inflatable tire yet?

The first number of the frame and engine # after the dash ( CL350-3########, etc. )is helpful in identifying the K series model #.

If you you look at AD's model info post you will see this.

Working on it.....those four corners make for a rough ride though. Betty is still hot (don't tell Wilma I said so!)
