Yep, I did it. I fell for a CB550 and now I'm here, seeking guidance and support like a shaky AA member, ready to fall off the wagon.
In reality, I'm JD, from Bangor Maine, and I own a cycle shop (PanikSwitch Cycles) just outside of Bangor, in Hermon. I've owned a few Hondas, a few Harleys, a Suzuki, a couple Yammys..
I'm no stranger to the forum world, as I'm one of the founding members of MaineOffRoading.Org, where we all love to Jeep! It's great to see a forum dedicated to the Honda SOHC/4s. I just sold my 80 Honda CB750F, which was chopped, stretched, lowered, raked out, and just plain "ugly-fied". Now, I know there are a few purists out there who will chastise me for doing that...but...
I just purchased 2 74 CB550's, and am keeping one in stock form, while the other is undergoing a massive chop. I'll post pics as soon as I'm allowed to (rules state 5 posts first).
Thanks again for signing me on board, and I hope that some of our technical knowledge can be of some help...though it appears you guys already have some damn fine talent here already!
JD
