Hi all,

I was recomended to this site from Tintin.  I am in the process of acuiring a 1974 Cb550k In flake Sunset Orange.  I will be doing a Riding restoration (fixin it on the fly) to this with very little if any modifiacations from factory spec.  Here are a few pics of the bike.  If any one has any information as to where to get good parts at good prices, let me know.  And, if anyone has any info on the exhaust on this bike, Tintin and I would appreciate it.

Welcome.  Nice 550, it looks like it's all there except for the after market pipes which I have no idea about.  A pic of the front of the engine might help someone ID them.

Always like to see another 550- a '74 no less. I'd like another look at those pipes too. And I thought I read somewhere those mini crash bars are sort of rare. Anyone have a thought about that?

Welcome!

will be picking up tommorrow.  will get better pics of the exhaust, and crashbars, and everything else that might help in the restoration of this bike.

Deal fell Through.  Owner decided not to sell.   

will be getting an SOHC eventually.  will definately refer to this forum for info, advice and humor along the way.  Thanks.
