Hi from Connecticut.
« on: October 23, 2013, 05:24:22 PM »
Hi guys, my name's Dave and I just picked up a '78 CB550K. It's running and doesn't seem to need TOO much work but there's a lot of tweaking to do I think. I'm going to go rummage around this forum and see what I can find. It's nice to be here.

Hi from Connecticut.

Thanks guys! Here's my CB550. It's awesome! I'm going to do the cafe route and here's a bike that I found that I'm trying to gain design inspiration from. I'm also a retoucher so I couldn't help but do a little photoshop work to my bike. I think it can look pretty sweet.

If you decide on moving away from those pipes, I'd be willing to talk. ;D

Check out the "Inspiration Gallery" on this site for more ideas as you plan and build.

I will definitely be removing them sometime in the future once I do a 4 -1. I'll keep you in mind, haha.
