Bugger.

you've got lots of folks here with parts to help you get er' back again.

I'm currently hoarding some 350F parts but if there are some you can use, PM me.

Matt.

Sooooo sorry about your bike. I think I've got an electrical panel but I'm not sure which bike's it's off of. Let me know. If you want it, it's yours.

Here's the link to the rest of the extra stuff I've got around. Just let me know if you can use any of it to get your ride back on the road.

Spikeybike

I’m for once without words.
I feel for you, and I’m positive you’ll recover with just as nice a ride.

I have a 550 wiring harness too. Sorry I don’t have more.

Tip’n a few for you bro.
Jimmy

man guys ... i want to start this post by saying i couldn't take it and i had to get some good friends and go to the bar and get smashed

I'm am very touched by all the comments ... i really mean that

i will send pms when I'm not so drunk

but the damage is bad i am lucky that i still have my garage
i think that when the smoke filled the garage it suffocated the fire and it went out

all that work gone....

oh and it's a 75 CB550f

pablo78cb550 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 17, 2008, 12:22:14 AM »

in your list of things you need, you forgot to add: new friends who don't smoke.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #30 on:** February 17, 2008, 12:27:36 AM »

well I'm positive that's what did it, but that is where everyone (including my girl) smokes

Sorry to see your bike like that Spiker, I think you should kill all your friends and blame it on Al Queda, (leave a couple of box cutters on the garage floor) and ask GW to finance a replacement Vincent Black Shadow, just like the one that was destroyed in that act of terrorism!

always looking for an angle hey terry lol

bryanj · « **Reply #33 on:** February 17, 2008, 03:51:08 AM »

When you have a complete list PM me as i have been collecting "stuff" for Number 36 and even if i aint got it to send from UK I can tell you what will fit.

76 cb550 · « **Reply #34 on:** February 17, 2008, 04:02:40 AM »

That is just sad.

Are you positive that it couldn't have been electrical? Not that it matters but it seems more likely to me that electrics started it than a cigarrette. Unless that heater you were talkin about was right next to the bike?

DarkRider · « **Reply #35 on:** February 17, 2008, 05:26:35 AM »

From what i was reading of the situation it sounds like the harness wasnt even on the bike at the time of the fire..

jsaab2748 · « **Reply #36 on:** February 17, 2008, 06:01:08 AM »

that is heartbreaking. I have a '75 550 k harness i'll donate if it'll work.
Think I have tach and speedo cable.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #37 on:** February 17, 2008, 06:25:06 AM »

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH is right. Man that is awful. hopefully the rebuild will go smoothly. looks like most of the parts are sourced. All I have are 750 parts but if there is a crossover let me know.

KB02 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 17, 2008, 06:34:58 AM »

NO!!! NO, no, no, no, no... That's bad. I wish I had some 550 parts to help you out with.

Sorry about that bro, seeing those pics of your burned bike hurts so much!!!

Before blaming your smoking friends, you said you were doing some electrical mods. Was the battery installed? You sure you didn't leave some wires hanging that could make a short when you covered the bike? If the gas tank was not installed, I assume the fire was caused by the cover, not by the gas. Otherwise you could very well have a burned garage now.

coyotecowboy · « **Reply #40 on:** February 17, 2008, 07:46:08 AM »

Awwwww hell, that sucks!!! At least it looks pretty repairable.

Maybe after you get her back together we should call her the Phoenix bike

Spikeybike · « **Reply #41 on:** February 17, 2008, 08:12:27 AM »

i am so blown away buy the brotherhood of this site

all the comments i've gotten ... all the pms i've received, i don't how to thank all of you
now that i've gone out and had a good (sober) look at the bike i think it looks worse then it is

the battery was not on the bike when this happened so it wasn't an electrical fire , the electrical work i was doing was new dyna coils and cleaning up some relay wiring (the coils were not on yet)

i will post a complete list of parts i need , mostly electrical
i dont think i mentioned that i need intake manifold boots

i WIIL rise the Phoenix from the ashes , my goal is mid summer , if i dont bore it out (since i'll be pulling the motor

Cvillechopper · « **Reply #42 on:** February 17, 2008, 08:29:38 AM »

I'm pretty sure I've got some 550 boots for ya. I'll go take a look this afternoon and let you know.

78CB750CAFE · « **Reply #43 on:** February 17, 2008, 08:30:04 AM »

WOW, that sucks. Sorry that happened to your bike, I will dig through my parts stash and see if I have anything usefull for you.

keep yer chin up,
Drew

chrislib · « **Reply #44 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:02:50 AM »

Thats a bummer for sure, very sorry about your bike.

mikedialect · « **Reply #45 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:15:06 AM »

I didn't catch the model of the bike, but I've got 750 spares if it is a 750. I'd be willing to toss stuff you're way if I have it.

754 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:19:33 AM »

Sorry to hear that..2nd bike that I know that did that!!

1st one had gas in the tanks, and the paint burned but the gas did not light..

heffay · « **Reply #47 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:19:52 AM »

i have no problem believing it was those damn smokers... let's put it this way... if that sheet had oil or gas on it (if they're anything like the cloth stuff i have in my garage they are used to clean up anything and everything) there's your fumes. the fumes are the very ignitable stuff. then, if there's cigarettes there's always flame (how'd they get that cig lit in the first place? right?)
and with the cloth there as kindling... it didn't take long. it looks as though she didn't suffer, up in one quick mushroom cloud of spiked glory.

dgfischer · « **Reply #48 on:** February 17, 2008, 09:51:17 AM »

Sad to hear about it and sadder to see the pics.

Spikeybike's Bike. A Bike barely alive. Gentlemen, SpikeyBike can rebuild It. He has the technology. He has the capability to build the world's first bionic Bike. Spikeybike's Bike will be that Bike. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster.

I really liked the Spikeybike and I'm sure that Spikey will bring it back to be bigger, better, faster..

And more unique!!

Just boxed up the boots (and manifolds cause I can't get the boots off). They're not new, but no cracks.
The electrics board is from a CB77 so I don't think it'll be any help. Let me know if you think you could use it anyway.

PM me your address and I'll get the boots in the mail tomorrow.
