rear wheel arrived today. got the tire mounted as fast as possible and mounted the wheel on the bike to see how the general look of the bike would be.
I think i am happy with the "look" of things.   Just have to finish everything else now asap :D

A long overdue update on this project!

finished the undertray for the seat, got new rear shocks installed.


things got a little out of hand, and new plans were made for the engine.. 592cc, camshaft, etc(the stage 2 dynoman kit).
It is also getting a electronic fuel injection system! as far as i have seen it will be one of very few EFI converted cb550's.




Fuel tank modified to hold a zx14r returnless fuel system.


Picture of the bike outdoors.. after this i decided the engine was too dark, so i also polished all the covers.
