Hello From Minnesota
« on: February 09, 2024, 07:07:45 AM »
Thanks for the forum. I've been riding since a kid and had a CB450 as a teenager. I'm rebuilding my first CB550 and this forum is gold!

You might spend a few hours ingesting this lengthy, extraordinary thread about how to restore a 550. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,151576.0.html

Regardless of whether you go original or semi-custom, the methods and knowledge herein are priceless.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Welcome from the Arrowhead,

The 550 is a nice general purpose bike.   Taken mine on dirt roads, two tracks, highways and express ways.

Welcome from one MN rider to another!  I just saw this - should be checking intros more regularly, I guess.  If you want to get together at any point or have any questions, give a holler!

Cheers,
