Just picked this 1975 CB550 up 2 weeks ago, it was a mess and took too many hours to count for the clean up but it at least looks decent now. I'v'e since taken off the engine guard/highway bars and might take the rack off the back too.

If I can just fix the lean issue it'll be one great bike.

Hi everyone! Just picked this bike up a few days ago for a couple hundred bucks. Its in pretty rough condition but runs good and has a title. I'm not sure what the fate of this bike will be... bobber project maybe?

aaah, the number grows. world domination cannot be far behind.

angrygreek, the only round traditional looking bar ends that i know of are the pricey (brit) halcyon.

http://www.classicpartsltd.com/classicmotorcyclemirrors.htm <brit site with pix, i think will sell to u.s.

+1 on the CRG's 'greek- I have one of these on my bike and I love it; it's a little bit convex and doesn't move or shake at all no matter what speed you're riding, or bumps you hit, etc. It's a lot of dough for a mirror, but well worth it in my opinion. (Just don't over tighten the mounting bolts- the body is aluminum and it can and will crack!)

I've got a '75 CB550F. Doesn't run, missing one sidecover, other shattered into many little pieces at first touch. Sitting in a field on its side for 26 years might do that. Repairing one thing at a time, it's tough.

Say, anyone know who might make repro CB550F (I specify the F, as in Super Sport, the K series don't fit) side panels? I can find a few K ones here and there, but no F.

No pics, as I'm at work.

Here is my 1972 CB500.

It started out as a chopper but when I saw a cafe racer I fell in love with the look. The pictures with the clubman bars are VERY rough look of it. Just used those to get it titled.

Beans · « **Reply #521 on:** July 08, 2009, 11:58:54 PM »

Well I figured since I haven't done it yet I should. I own 2 of them. I got a 1974 cb550k that im building a bobber out of and my 1975 cb550f im building a cafe racer out of. Just a nice bike to cruz to work. the 74 I would like to say payed 100 bucks for the damn thing thinks to the lovely fiance. and picked up the 75 for free 2 days ago.

here is betty my 1974 cb550k bobber project.

and here is Sue my 1975 cb550f cafe project.

Both bikes have less then 35k so im stoked not alot of miles.

Aaron Richard · « **Reply #522 on:** July 10, 2009, 12:13:06 PM »

I haven't officially listed my bike so here it is. took me about a year. Still working out the gremlins but, something this old will always have them

. I've changed the bars to the supermoto bars and routed the cables the correct way

This whole bike was built by me, my tools and a whole lot of beer
