Machine Shop Work
« on: June 03, 2018, 07:59:07 PM »
Hello all! I have a lot of aviation mechanical experience but no major motorcycle experience. I purchased a CB550 that was in seriously bad condition and I’m now going to bring the old girl back from the dead. The engine needs some welding and machine repairs—one of the exhaust studs pulled out on the previous owner and took a chunk of aluminum with it. I’m in the south central Wisconsin area, does anyone know of a good machine shop in the area? Any good shops that I could ship too?

I’m super excited about this project.

 It would probably be easier and more cost effective to just replace the head.
