CB550 greetings from Holland
« on: September 12, 2007, 01:01:37 PM »
Hello

I'm the happy owner of 2 CB550 F1 from 1976.

One is original in a condition "as is", mayby some day I will restore it to new condition.

The other one is a bike rebuild from scrapyard parts into a bike I like and wich is fun to drive, I call it "the party animal".

I have a site about CB550's, unfortunally it is in Dutch, but I'm working on a english version.... patience  :)

on this moment I'm orientating how to rebuild an engine with by example big-bore and flowed head, so if anybody has experiance with these items, please let me know

grts Ben

Welcome. Nice looking bikes. I see "Honda" is the same in Dutch. ;D
We'll all be someone else's PO some day.
