Apologies if this has already been done… It’s a fun way to show how projects have progressed.

Here are the rules:

1.) One bike per post - if you have more than one make multiple posts

2.) Only TWO pictures per bike - one when you bought it and one current. If you change something, modify your post to show the current picture

3.) Nice comments on bikes are allowed, but limit long discussions about modifications

4.) Lengthy descriptions aren’t needed, this is to see the visual change to the motorcycle

Does it have to be whole bikes?

That's all I have for SOHC4's.
One of the 500's I posted went through some more changes and became this:

And I have two more 500/550's in the works. And a BUNCH of other, non SOHC4 stuff!

So I’m officially jealous of Scott S... Awesome bikes!

Hondaman - anything is acceptable!

In the before, that’s not a hole in the tank is it!!? Could just be some wetness or maybe paint, but it really looks like a giant hole, haha.

Scott S · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2019, 05:50:26 PM »

Oh, it was a HUGE hole.

Yeah, Scott's work is to die for!
Hey, Dave, where did you get those cool 550 pipes?

Sorry Mark, are you talking to me? My stainless pipes on the 650 motor?(Hindle exhaust from Ripple Rock Racers) Or the pipes on the before 550?(no idea, haha. MAC??)

Oh and yes, over the years I’ve come to respect Scott’s work for sure, he makes it looks easy.

That's my bike. Those are hand made Passolini/CR replica style pipes. Got them from a guy in the Benelli Club in Spain.

This is a very dull thread when almost all of the pics are photobucket links that won't show on my screen! Some of you are commenting on them, though, so I guess it's just me...

I see all pictures except one from Don which is a photobucket link. Could be your settings. Want me to describe the pictures to you?
