Hello from the other side of the Lake.  Lake Superior that is.

If you search out my project thread, you will see my CB550F transformation into a lightweight adventure bike.

Hi Ivel, welcome from western Wayne county. Too bad that CB isn’t on the road to take advantage of the nice recent weather. Maybe you have an alternate ride, there will soon be lots of time for Motorcycle work.

Yea I have an 1987 voyager 1200zg! Love that bike. I also have a cb175. But that requires just as much the cb750. Thanks for the welcome.

Recently, we had a member sell his CB175 here. He put up a GoPro video of the bike and he was getting everything it had and having a blast doing it. I tried to find it and bring it here so you can see what a good running 175 will do, but no success finding it.

I got 3 good rides in last week, now it's high winds and flood warnings and the furnace running.
