Hello everyone,
Just picked up a 78 CB550 last saturday. Looks to have been left outside a
little to often and will need some work. Almost wrecked riding home as the
rear tire went flat on me....

According to the speedo it only has 8k
miles on it. The bike does fire right up and seems to run pretty
good....knock on wood.
Of course I plan to turn it into a cafe style bike over the winter. I do
not have a ton of experience working with cars or bikes so this will be a
learning process for me.
Looks like a great forum

here are a couple of pics of the bike.....


Will be adding pics of my progress here......
