New Member from Upstate NY
« on: November 18, 2015, 11:43:13 AM »
Hello all, the names Pete. Just acquired my first project of what I'm sure is many to come. Not new to bikes per say as I've owned an R6 and a GSXR 750. However now in my somewhat older age I've put away the toys and have been lucky enough to be given an 1978 CB550 with about 9k miles or 14k kilos on her. She's been sitting since 1986 in my cousins she'd and will need some tlc. I'm sure I'll have many questions along the way as I dive in head first at a tasteful restoration!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Yes, welcome! And what do you consider "Upstate"? My hometown is in the middle of the Finger Lakes Region.

If you haven't already done so, go to the download page and get a copy of the shop manual. Read over the 3K mile checklist and go through those steps with your bike. You should be up and running in great shape very soon.
