Steve - I think it might be time to organize the Gallery by model (I'd combine 500/550 however).  It's getting crowded and many bikes are going unseen due to the number of pages.

[SteveD CB500F]

It wouldn't be too difficult.

If everyone puts the model in the title a simple search would do it though.  I have edited the odd Gallery post I'm afraid...

Mine is still too ugly to be displayed in public.

[eldar]

I want to finish mine first. I forgot to take before pictures and so I just have to wait till I am done. Whenever that is.

[SteveD CB500F]

Ugly is fine.
Unfinished is fine too.

In fact, unfinished is probably more useful to some of us than pictures of sparkling concourse bikes.

I will get a pic of mine and post it soon.  I'm looking forward to the comments I get on it.  I have a 1.2 gallon honda 3 wheeler tank that I fill up 3 times a day, everyday.  It leaks about 1/4 a quart of oil a week from misc places, and I have a brand new travelcade seat.  Panty hose takes care of filtering the birds and sticks out of the incomming air, and I had to scrape my headlight lense the other day to let some light escape (lots of night time riding in rural areas).  I have just installed brand new tires and brake pads, but my reservoir leaks so bad that the brake juice has eaten up my right grip, and glove.  My right hand has been black for over 3 months.  My speedometer dont work so I have no idea how fast Im going and there usually isnt any other traffick to judge by on my route either but I recently learned that 7.5k in 5th is beyond the legal limit of 70.  I have rebuilt the carbs and replaced the boots, installed new mirrors, and a replacement rear light assembly.  I finally got a battery (no more push starting through intersections when it wont idle at a red light YEAH!)  and its starting to grow on me and feel like "my bike" so I guess I will work to improve it, next thing is to get a bigger tank.  Anyone know of a 5 gallon tank that will fit and not look to hideous?

My bike is such a before picture that I'm a bit embarrassed to post a photo. However, I'll do so as soon as I figure out which oe of my friends has a digital camera. Maybe the prospect of taking a photo of it will provide the impetus I need to put my new old exhaust on.

My CBCHIK license plate arrived today, so that's one piece of the bike that's finished.

Why worry about the look,  I have a gas tank off a tractor that would keep you in gas for a month!  I loved your discription.  Take a picture, you would be supprised how many of us do not have the bucks to do anything but keep them running.  You just have the guts to say it.

luke,you mean a honda leaks oil.

Here is a picture of my 1978 CB 550K

Seems like all 400s look pretty much the same. I'm really thinking of selling my Guzzi and using some of the money to build a new seat and aluminium gas tank. The rest would go to a paint job on the house . . . >sigh<. . .
