Hello from Toronto
« on: November 08, 2012, 12:03:14 PM »
Hey!  Name's Felipe, from Toronto.

Fairly new to riding, first few years I was riding a 78 KZ400, liked the bike but too under powered for the highway.  As of this year, I've been riding a 76 CB550F and loving it.  Nice light bike, very nimble and enough power on the highway. 

Did some mods to the 550, mostly cosmetic, but planning on putting on a CB750 boxed swing arm and dual disc brakes up front over the winter and will definitely need the forums expertise. 

Here's a before and after.

Welcome to the madness! I guess you have a long enough winter that you'll have time to make the changes. :)
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Thanks HondaMan  That's the only good thing about our winter, enough time to get some projects done.
