He does state that he used a 550 motor in the text. And I think the decimal point is too far to the right also.  ;D

I really like it, one of the better CB choppers I've seen.  Also don't think it's a $12,000 bike.  I plan on starting my own chopper build sometime around the beginning of '07 and this has just inspired me to us a 550 motor.  Cheaper and much easier to work with (I hate the oil tanks).

This is a fine example of different stokes for different folks. I like just because it is Honda and different. That's with the fact that I would change a few things like those tappet covers. They look like tappet covers on Viagra.  ;D ::)

Hmmm....  is that a stock 550f header witha bit of bent pipe on the end, just next to the patented easy-ground brake arm?
