hello from Mil-town, WI
« on: May 25, 2007, 10:34:34 AM »
 ;D
Just got my 1974 cb550 up and running this last week. ( I picked it up last summer, I paid to much $650, for what I got). I have spent the last 3 weeks gettting new rubber and fixing the found issues, this bike was a mess( and is still having issues). the previous owner was a moron in going over the bike I found american nuts on metric bolts and vs versa, along with a wiring mess that will take me the rest of this coming winter to clean up and replace. But I digress. I am glad I found a group of people who love thier hondas. it will be great to have like minded people to talk to.

Welcome from Oklahoma!
Press on, if you don't find things out of place, that means the previous guy may not have messed with that part!  The money, heck, it gives you a challenge, like a big old puzzle, that you can ride!  No really, finding parts and making things right is half the fun!
