Boulder Colorado coming in HOT!
« on: August 25, 2021, 04:52:40 PM »
My name is  Chuck Snyder, or as i'm on Instagram "Tonup_boulder"

Been building bikes for 15 years, mostly 60's and 70's Triumph Twins.  I recently purchased a 75 CB550 i'm looking to "upgrade" to a Tracker.

Needs:  a local builder to do a full refresh on this running motor and black it out.  Any suggestions?

You can find me scooting around town on a '72 TR6R Cafe Racer that can do the "Ton"

I look forward to getting to know a few of you and love advice and learning these older bikes.

Welcome from Lake Superior,

Honda Man is in the same state as you.  He would be a good person to start the rebuild discussion with.

Welcome aboard Chuck. The 550 is a great little motorcycle.
I usually spend 4-5 days riding Colorado on my cross country riding. I was there in June this year and stayed with friends in Loveland and in Heeney.
