hey guys, I've been lurking for about a month on here and decided I should create an account so here I am.
A little background of me, 20 years old, served in the Army for 3 years now on inactive ready reserve for 5 years. Im getting married this weekend and I work full time as a welder at a fabrication shop. we do medium to heavy gauge welding for Nordco, a rail road track maintenance company.
I last had a motorcycle a couple years ago, a 1979 Suzuki Gs550, i brought that back bike from the dead after sitting in a woods for 15 years.
that bike has since been sold and now I picked up a 1976 Honda CB550F for $100 and a 3.5 hour drive. and currently she's stripped down to the frame with the wheels still on. plan is to make her into a cafe racer.
the bikes gas tank is completely rotted away, rust holes through her. so if anyone has a spare tank to sell let me know, i cant find any bike salvage yards in my area. also when i took apart the carbs the bowls were literally filled with rust holding all the floats in place. 1 float pin is actually still stuck. Im looking into buying a used set because the metal inside the carb started deteriorating away.
Ill probably be posting in the classifieds of some odds and ends that im not using, like taillight, rear fender, seat, tach gauge, and some other odds n ends.
Ill post pictures this weekend, im stuck to my android phone for awhile until we find a better ISP
