CB550 Valve Job
« on: September 08, 2020, 05:52:54 AM »
Any suggestions / recommendations for any companies or individuals that could complete a valve job on a cb550 head, hoping for a quick turn around.

Seen the following head rebuild service on Ebay:

That ebay service sounds pretty good, you should be our guinea pig! I would request having the entire head blasted so it will be ready for paint once returned.

Mike R could def do it, but highly doubt in a week.
