Topic: New from Chicago

[tkarahalios]

Hey folks,

I bought a 1975 CB550K1 last November. She's had a few problems (messed up wiring, blown rectifier, bad battery...etc) but I've been straightening her out for the last month or so. Thanks to this forum I've been finding tons of useful information. I'll be posting some specific questions soon on the tech forum section but just wanted to say hello and thank you for keeping the knowledge flowing.

Hey Tasos,

Fellow Chicagoan living in Logan Square. Picked up a 76 CB550 that needs some work done. Where do you live mate?

Hey there,

I live not that far away near Chicago Avenue and Franklin.
How is the progress going with the '76 CB550?

Happy to share tips of what I've been learning about taking care of these bikes in Chicago.

Wires need to be replaced. They were already in pretty poor condition but after connecting the wrong leads, they need to be replaced outright. I don't mind because I plan on having this bike around for a while.
