New member with a new ride
« on: January 06, 2018, 04:32:10 PM »
I finally found what I was looking for, 77 550k. When I was 19 I rode this identical bike from Toronto to San Diego back in 78,79 Great bike for coastal cruising here in SoCal

Welcome from the deep freeze, 20 below this morning,

Nice looking bike.  The PO seems to have done most of the hard work for you.

Very nice bike, I had one just like it. 

However, the seat doesnt look quite like stock, is that an F model seat?

Lovely clean bike, congrads on the find. I had an identical chocolate brown 550k when I was 19 (photo attached). Joined the forum yesterday. Now have a 76 550k but bought it already converted to cafe and then did further mods.
