Hello
« on: February 12, 2019, 07:08:32 PM »
 New to SOHC. I have been reading awhile after getting interested in a project bike to fill my retired time. :)

Looking at a 1975 CB550 this weekend, pictured below.  Much work to be done, but it comes with another 550 engine.

 Thanks for letting me in, I have lots of reading to do and searching before I ask anything.

Welcome from Lake Superior,

550 is a very versatile bike.

Pavement, gravel, and iron butt rides are doable on the 550.  Waiting for March to get the bike out of hibernation.
