CB550 Four and an XS650 Project bikes- Update.
« on: May 12, 2013, 10:02:01 AM »
SO...Dad scored a a CB550Four and an xs650. Guess who gets to keep the XS650?

They are pretty rough, but do-able. I convinced him to leave the CB alone (or at least not turn it into a bobber), but he'll likely make a little cafe out of it. As for the 650..Its gonna be a chopper/bobber for certain. I think the grand total was around $300 for both bikes and  one may even have a title? They are still at his place.

PICS!

Meh.  They are just in need of some LOVE>  :P

UPDATE:

Looks like the engines should run fine. Tank on the Honda is a little ratty, but the yammy tank is in good shape. Ironically I will not likely use it, but it will come in handy during the rebuild.

Time to get rid of all that wanna-be chopper gear. The '71 cb750 I bought a while back was far worse than these two beauties.

They're the best when you have to uproot them from being stuck in the ground... Lol.
