Welcome from Lake Superior,

You caste the bait saying you had a basket case.  Tell us the story of the basket and how are you removing the case.  ;D

From northeast pa a little town called Athens. The basket case story......I wanted a fun summer project a bobber/chopper kind of a retro style and I'm a Honda guy through and through. Bought a roller cb550 frame all ready hardtailed with a 75 or 76 Cb 750 motor in it, also came with a cb650 motor and the wire harness to it, other than that it's a DIY from there. No gauges no electrical no anything lol.

Thanks for the story.  If you have not started a build thread, we would encourage you do so.

Thanks for the welcoming. I'll probably start a build thread but I need to do some more hunting, the 650 harness is what I'm using to wire up the 750 motor and I'm switching to a solid state regulator rec. I've been following hackaweek on YouTube for some ideas and general information. Hoping to learn a lot more in the pages here.
