If I can score this 1975 CB 550 F I would be interested in every part you remove.

Drop me a PM.

Honestly, that is a very nice bike to cafe'. Your bike, just me.

Installed the new seat, dyna s, and the Lossa 4-1.

So I painted the seat and installed the velocity stacks and re jetted the bike. I also relocated all the electronics under the seat. Hopefully have the front-end done by the end of the week.

Looks good. How much was the seat? May we have a video of the bike running to get an idea of the exhaust

I don't recall the price on the seat but it was a lot something like $350. I love the shape of it though and the quality is great on it except there are a lot of fitment issues with it. It's not as bolt on as he makes all his products out to be.

I'm going out of town in the next few days so if I don't get the video up before I leave I will as soon as I get back.

any chance of a picture of the electrics under the seat
I'm planning the same with a small battery so I can have a view through the frame

Some updated pics of the bike. The GL1000 fronted swap is done along with RaceTech Gold Valves, Pre-Load adjusters, Ducati Rotor, ZX-9 calipers, clip-on's, the rearsets are on as well.

Electrical work looks nice. Rubber mounts to hold the seat to the frame? I didnt see any mounting ware

If you look at the bottom of the second pic you see a plate that goes across. there is a similar plate on the seat and it screws in threw there from the underside

Looks great ! I would like to install a dual rotor in my bike, Is that a 320 mm rotor? Which Ducati rotor should I look for?
