Hey Guys

New member here in Connecticut.  I currently own a 1975 Honda CB550K that stock, pretty much all original. It's in good shape but it could always be better, right?
I also have a 1974 CB550K parts bike that that has most of the bits and pieces and was thinking about turning it into a cafe racer project.

Joined the forum for ideas, tips and hopefully some help on getting it done!

Thanks, hope to post some pics soon.
