CB550 photos
« on: February 22, 2007, 02:07:25 pm »
Does anyone have a link to a 76 CB550 high res. photo - side shot.
I can find millions of 750's and a few b/w earlier 550's but just need a good quality
color side shot of a 76 CB550.  I've been looking through the gallery as well with
no luck.  Just thought I'd take a chance here.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Great bikes guys...would someone be kind enough to check this listing and point out
any errors in it or additions that I should make. It's a NOS tacho for a CB550 (I think). A PM would be best so we don't get off topic and clog up the message board. Thanks, TC.
