 Hi all,

   I picked up a 1977 CB 550F about a month ago.This is the first bike I have owned. I've been reading posts and have learned alot so far and hope to learn more. This is a great place for information. My bike is running but will run and look better when I get the time to work on it. The PO kinda neglected it. I'm gathering parts to bring it back to stock and doing alot of cleaning. I paid $500 for it

Welcome from Ontario, Sounds like a good buy for $500.  ;)

Thanks to all for the welcome. I hope to get some work done on my bike soon. I gotta get rid of the windjammer fairing, it doesn't look good on the bike. I've already found headlight ears and a headlight with all the reflectors. I've got to replace the fork seals they're leaking and I plan on removing the fairing then. I've also gotten rid of some brackets that the PO put on it.I'm trying to get all the parts for the stock air box, the Po just had foam stuck in the box. I've read alot of posts already and they have been a great help with some of the things I had questions about.This is a great group!
