New build, who dis? 76' CB550K Build
« on: April 26, 2017, 09:09:04 PM »
Picked up this 1976 CB550 from some guy who had it sitting in his barn for 30 some odd years. Trailered it home from New Jersey with a buddy to give him something to do to keep his mind off his woman problems. Needless to say he took it all apart and lost interest in it before he even started putting it back together.

So now i Have a Frame, engine, and a few boxed of nuts and bolts and other motorcycles parts. The entire bike is there as you can see it was a complete bike in the pictures. I just have to figure out what goes where and put it back together. Plan is to keep it as cheap as possible but make it look decent. Ill also be trying to use all parts I've had laying around accumulating dust in the shop the past few years. So far i have $500 into this as thats how much i have him for the "Bike in a box".

Bike build plans:
 - Weld rear frame hoop
 - De-tab frame and remove center kick stand
 - Prep, Prime and then paint frame with Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy Black paint
 - Paint front forks and wheels semi gloss black
 - Find a wiring diagram and rewire entire bike while trying to hide as much wire as possible.
 - MotoGP Works Four into 1 stainless exhaust system (Pulled this from a bike i bought a while back)
 - Billet Aluminum top triple tree (Bought this off a guy on instagram)
 - Henry Abe Breadbox filter (http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=144402.0)
 - Cheap eBay Clip-on's
 - Possibly try and find a set of modern CBR controls. (Anyone have any suggestions?)


So to start, heres the bike on Day 1. We had her running about 4 hours later (Including 1.5 hour commute home HA). Friends suggested I kept the bike as is because of how rad it looks but it wasn't mine initially and my buddy had other plans for it.

Found this guy advertising on Craigslist. I think I'm gonna give him a call and bring the frame to him to have a seat made

The seats look nice, but they appear to be really thin gauge sheet. That makes the shape easy to create, but makes the seat very delicate to being deformed by pressure upon it. The hard brake line in the seat pan edges should be radiuses, not broken at a 90* to better conform to round hoop tubing as well.

Looks like nice work, but those are my snooty criticisms  :o For $110 though, easy enough to afford a replacement!

Some engine prep pics before paint and after. I must've done 10 rounds of degreasing. I used all sorts of degreasers but my favorite by far is Mineral Spirits. Watched a video on youtube of a guy using it on a transmission bell housing. I was amazed.

I used VHC's cast aluminum paint after using a high temp primer. Did a few engines like this in the past and worked out well. I will be polishing all of the engine covers.

Rocs... i tried to find this at HF.  No luck.  But.... at Wal-Mart, the have a similar product.  But... no luck, out of stock.  But....  while i was there i roamed thru the gun department.... bingo!  Great assortment of bore cleaning brushes.  Under $2.00 each.  Worked great on the drill.  Just like you said.  Great tip bro.

Thanks,
John

I got the engine mounted with all new stainless nuts, bolts, washers etc. I used my micrometer to measure and ordered off of bolt depot.com. Their shipping was fast and prices were cheap. I probably got all of them for under 25 bucks (not including axles).

Rear shocks are some old Koni shocks i found on an other biked i picked up. I cleaned them up and freshened them up a bit with some paint. I don't think these will be "usable" shocks when the bike is finished but they are fine for now while assembling.

Will be mounting the front forks and wheels next.

Its been a while since ive updated this post. Ive done some small things here and there but started giving it more attention the last month. I am going for a more modern touch so ill be adding some new controls, levers and LED headlight. Ive since added some clip on's and the Motoworks GP exhaust pipe.

I also started wiring the bike last night. Going to hide everything under the seat and mount the battery behind the engine.

I also picked up a digital speedometer/tachometer i am going to try and install.

Now for some updated pictures

The speedo isn't installed yet but i have it sort of mocked where i think i want it. The controls, grips, levers etc are not in their final position. I am going to place everything where i want them and trim the clip ons if needed.

 Those aluminum seats are the most basic simple form possible.
 Any one could makevtgat with a cheap brake and bending a piece over a log or pipe or post. The hard part is the welding.... no shrinking, stretching or panel beating..

Hey guys, sorry i never came back to update this thread with my finished pictures. Riding season got the best of me! I had it at a few shows this past season and got a lot of nice feedback. I even won a trophy! hahahah

The bike will also be on display at Martin's Motorsports Modern Classics indoor even on March 2, 2019. They are about 40 min outside of Philadelphia in Boyertown, PA for those interested.

On to the pics...

So i left off in the middle of wiring and the electronics

Mocking up the seat and then final pictures of the seat from the upholstery shop. Couldn't be happier with the final product. I dropped the bike off so they could fit the seat perfectly to the bikes lines. Went with a quilted/diamond stitch to match my cars interior hahaha.

Luckily i used appliance epoxy for the frame paint. had to mount some seat mounts to the frame and needed to remove some paint for the welds. Was able to easily repaint it with the epoxy paint.

Some final pictures of the bike in its completed state. Had a blast building this bike and the compliments i receive make it worth all the effort.

Let me know what you guys think. I also have more pictures and can take pictures of certain things if requested.

Rocs,

Congratulations on your build.  It looks clean.  It looks like you lowered the front (lowering the forks in the triples) and rear (shorter shocks?).  If so, do you have any clearance issues with the rear tire?

Nice photo next to the stocker.

Rocs,

Congratulations on your build.  It looks clean.  It looks like you lowered the front (lowering the forks in the triples) and rear (shorter shocks?).  If so, do you have any clearance issues with the rear tire?

Nice photo next to the stocker.

Thanks!! 

The rear shocks are actually 13 3/16" Shocks 13.4" Eye clevis. OEM are 12.5 i believe. So these are actually a bit higher. No clearance issues what so ever.
