New guy from California
« on: April 15, 2024, 11:52:40 PM »
In the process of bringing a 1976 CB550 back to life. Just got it started a week ago after wrenching on it for a few months. Had to chip away at it with a baby in the house (got the bike a month after he was born after years of passively hunting).

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Welcome from CO! Nice bike. Makes me think of the Christmas Vacation scene: "It's a beaut, Clark."

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Just posted in the wanted section for a throttle return spring (part # 16036-323-004) in case anyone could lend a hand helping me find a replacement.
