First CB... glad to be here

It's a 1976 Cb550K... just tossed on some clubman bars and swapped a standard seat in place of the K/Q seat it had on it. Carbs are out right now in a sonic cleaner... rebuild kits are on the way. Should be back on the road by Friday

I got that tail light from cyclexchange.net. It's non-led which is what i wanted and looks great on the chopped fender. Inexpensive too.

Ken at Cycle X is a real fan of the SOHC's. If you order something from him, be sure to mention this forum.

volkswagendan · « **Reply #493 on:** June 21, 2009, 08:00:10 PM »

i am so down with brown.
i think that sun-faded metal-flake brown could be my favorite cb color.
that or maybe the green. ...maybe red. sh!t, i love em all!

So, I've had it for a month. Thanks to Honda Man, my 1977 CB550K now lives.

Still has a few little issues to fix, but its rideable.

Here is a pic from my phone while I was broken down on the side of the road. Hopefully I'll get a chance to really get out and ride it and get some good shots in the near future.

Also; I need to do away with those godawful elephant ears on my bar-ends. Anyone know some good looking, round bar-end mirrors?

garnetbrown · « **Reply #495 on:** June 23, 2009, 01:16:40 PM »

Another one for the registry. This is my 1976 CB550K. This was the day I bought it (last July). I've just put new Spitfires on it and fixed a nagging sticky caliper. A little more engine work and then I'll clean off the rust.

my '78 550K the day i got her with 6,000 original miles. :-)

patricke9 · « **Reply #497 on:** June 29, 2009, 11:59:48 AM »

Here's my '77 CB550k3, just picked it up, spent all weekend cleaning it up after it sat for a couple of years, under a cover, was pretty crusty. Will be getting a seat cover off eBay. Carbs were rebuilt by a buddy of mine before it sat. They need a good cleaning & I need to find intake boots that go between the carbs & air box & should be good to go!

as I found it:

as it sits now:

Welcome to the forum/madness Patrickw9! WOW! original pipes in good shape, original side covers, paint looks fairly decent... You can prolly get the seat recovered to look original and you'll have quite a gem there!

Thanks, been lurking around for many years since I had my '76 400f & gained a lot of info from the fourum as well as the email list (R.I.P.). Seat cover I found on eBay should look good enough & your right the pipes & side covers are in very good shape, motor/frame is still a bit crusty, but when I have a running bike I ride year 'round, it really doesn't rain as much here is Seattle as you hear-Patrick
