My '77 CB550 cafe racer project with a really cool starter button
« on: January 15, 2012, 07:04:42 PM »
The bike still needs a little tinkering to get the jetting right from the pod filters (running 100's with  the needle in the middle, still a little rich I think, anyone have any suggestions for what works for them?) But I finished the paint today and I'm really stoked with how it turned out. Plus, a really neat starter button. For anyone who is interested, here it is (skip to 13:17 to see the final product):

Thanks, I painted it to match the side panels, which were in really good condition given the state of the bike when I started.
