I got a 75 cb550f. Saved it this summer from some butcher. It had been sitting in his garage for quite a few years. He was trying to make some f'd up chopper out of it and failed, horrible. So I rescued it and am in the process of fixing it up. That's about it.

Thank you kind sir, if I have my way it'll be pretty sweet when it's done. I'm going to do the frame black and green this winter. The wheels will be green rims with black hubs and spokes. Black tripple trees. Pretty much black everything with green high lights.

I've been hanging around here for a little while, but never got around to this, so here she is:
My 1977 CB550K - 30k on the clock and still ticking. I bought it running, put a few hundred miles on and decided to pull it apart and clean it up some. First pic is from about a month ago, second was taken yesterday.

1975 550 K1, renovation underway.  Rode it to work since September, now that it is cold I am tearing it down and tuning it up.  Runs good, 12,000 miles, homemade manometer being finished, replacing the seat, will repaint soon. I didn't get a great deal on it ($1000) but it came with some extras.  Lots of little things being repaired or replaced.  Oh do I enjoy working on this bike, and what a great ride!

My opinion, as long as you don't get completely hosed on the deal the joy it can bring is priceless.

Re: IF we will break 200 550 member-owners..

@ the rate we've been going (it's been only 11 months since you started this thread DarkRider)..I'd say yes..and within the following year.

I say that for several reasons: 1.) we've been adding members to this list @ the average rate of about 15 per month  2.) there are only 32 more names necessary to reach the 200 mark 3.) there are still a awful lot of old 500's-550's out there. 

A couple of the local bike bone yards in my area alone..have a combined 20 to 25 500's-550's sitting out back..if anyone would want to take on a restoration project, etc.

Now: it seems more relevant if someone here wants to start a poll of 500-550 members (DarkRider?)..on exactly how soon/which month during the following year (2009) we will meet the 200 member mark.  I myself would guess that we'll meet that 200 mark by around April or May (allowing for the fact that new 500-550 members have slowed in pace since this thread started).  Anyone else?
