New member in Maryland
« on: November 17, 2015, 06:10:12 PM »
Hey guys,

New member and first bike earlier this year. It is a 1975 CB550. Have done the 3k mile tune up and generally gone over the bike. Put on some drag bars and removed about everything I can without looking ghetto or cutting anything yet. Thinking about an upset brat seat from a member here but can't bring myself to cut the frame. H4 headlight upgrade, led tail/brake, new turns. That's about it so far besides constantly fixing little things and riding it.

Welcome!

You right, do not cut the frame.

Maybe it was more of a 5k service?? Who knows, carbs cleaned, all o rings replaced, and synced, valves and cam chain adjusted, etc. It was in pretty good shape overall, just needs some tlc. Here is what it looked like day one of ownership. The chrome is rustier than it looks in the pictures, and the side covers and badges were scratched up. All the stock parts are in a half organized pile if anyone is looking for anything.
