newbie in southern wi. lovin the site
« on: June 17, 2008, 06:16:37 PM »
I guess I have been reading lots about the honda cb550 and am now totally stoked on getting my donor bike. looking to make a cafe project with some upgrades. Big questions have been are there any differences in the 74-78 cb550's in swingarms or front neck diameters? Trying to find an upgrade to fit better tires on. I know it's in here somewhere but thought I would throw it out there for the first post.

Don't know a lot about the 550s but welcome anyway!

DraginKnee,

Welcome to the forum.

I see you are from Mad City. I'm out in Baraboo. Just got a '76 550 a few weeks back.

Welcome, from one Skonnie to another.  Grew up in Indian Hills on the near west side.

Man, what I wouldn't give for fried cheese curds at the Paradise.

Good luck with the 550, my 750 expertise prolly isn't much help.

Another welcome from just east of Madison!  I hate to be the echo, but I don't know anything about 550s.  Good luck anyways!
