Stev-o I must admit I spent a small fortune on the engine and I am deathly scared of messing it up during reassembly. Not sure if I will hire it out or ask a friend to assist.

Dennis will you be holding the vintage ride again? I plan on being there Saturday. This time the family will be following me in the mini van.

If Dennis is leading the way, family in the mini-van is unlikely to be able to keep up...

Steve-O, not a jab at Nick or even his family's mini van driving skills...go riding with Dennis sometime...he is hard to keep up with!

Finally an update. The engine is together. Now the frame isn't complete but I may be buying a 550 that I could throw this in and test it. I must thank the members here with the cam alignment. Big thanks to my buddy Mike. He helped me put it together...

Bike is looking great tews. Keep up the good work buddy, I know how things can get slowed down when you have 4 kids

I've decided I had to get an uncut frame. Kind of stuck on whether to use my modded frame. Here is the new seat I got from Bedlam Werks. Awesome quality seat here! Absolutely stoked!. I may attempt to re cut my modded frame to fit the seat. What do you all think?

Nick, I have two 550 spare untitled 550 frames. A '77, with some damage where a PO cut out the portion under the main spine where the coils attach, and an intact '74. The '74 has the swingarm on it, the '77 does not, but I still have it.

You are welcome to either one.

Tews19 · « **Reply #360 on:** June 24, 2014, 02:53:22 PM »

Thanks for the offer Danny. I picked up the uncut frame already from Goddfrey. I'm leaning towards the uncut one. I will have to get a different hoop. With this set up I will have to use the stock battery box as the seat is to small for a battery.

Why even remove the stock brace for a hoop? You already hacked one frame to the point of you not wanting to use it, why wreck another one? I don't see any improvement in making any of these changes. Just my opinion Nic, you know I luv ya.

I understand Sean. I will have to think about this. I like the frame I modified but I plan to use it for another future project. Plus this new seat flows with the tank lines much better. Any idea how I could mount the seat yet not have the rear part of the frame where.the turn signals attach to? My rear light has the brake light, running light and turn signals all in one.

Mod the seat so that it uses the turn signal holes as the rear seat mounts

I have a mold from a seat I built to fit an un-modified frame if your interested in something like that ?

FINALLY! The front end is done! I cleaned up the frame with the help of my youngest boy. Mocked it up. Sorry bout the cap pitcures as they were taken in the garage. Thanks to Matt for helping me with a list of parts to being to the powder coater.

Tews19 · « **Reply #366 on:** July 01, 2014, 02:56:06 PM »

A few pics. If anyone can think of small tidbits that need/should be powder coated please let me know.

Foot pegs, engine mounts, center and side stands, battery box, tool tray, triple trees, chain guard, swingarm and frame.

riverfever · « **Reply #371 on:** July 09, 2014, 09:07:11 PM »

What's happening with this? Love that seat and tank line.
