Hey dudes,
In lieu of a full-on thread, here's a video I put together of the restoration and reassembly of my CB550K3.  Enjoy!

Nice. How does an English bike end up in the US?

Nice job. I love time lapse clips.

Here's one I did in prep for a trip to the Dragon.

That shows just how much can be done in such a tiny work space.  Nice job, and congrats on getting it back together and running.

Wrong question, how did an American guy end up rebuilding a CB550 in an English shed?

I suppose I should pay more attention to peoples locations.  ;) Thanks for pointing that out.

BankerDanny has it right, shortly after selling my 750 back in Michigan, I moved over to the UK for grad school.  Then there was a year with a Yammy XJ900F, but it had too much plastic and electronic ignition for me.  Last year saw the 550 purchase from a friend of BryanJ, it's been smiles ever since.  (Apart from lifting the engine on top of the workbench, that wasn't very smiley).

FunJimmy, that's a dangerously good looking machine you have there.  The beer at the end was well deserved.  Was the kitty-door for customs inspectors to peek in through?

Thanks Eric,

I shipped the bike with everything I needed, flew out with just carry on so the kitty door was for a cordless drill to open the crate and re-seal for return shipping.
