Beautiful bike, man.  That's exactly what I am working towards on my '78 cb550k.  I assume the body parts are from Benjie's?  What jets are you running?  Is that a MAC 4-into-1?  My new exhaust goes on tomorrow and then I'll pull the engine to mod the frame.  Good luck with yours!

[alexc518]

yes sir, benjies tank and seat.  i think his work is great and he was a pleasure to do business with.  the exhaust is mac, bbq black all the way.  the jets are 100's as of right now,  theyre ok but i still need to work out a few fine tuners.  good luck on your build.  the best part is when it fires over at the end.

Nice bike! Really like how you have cleaned up the frame. Just beautiful.
You mention you are running 100's at the moment, are you looking to change that or just needs a balance?

Nice work. I need to buy another bike and do something like that. I dont think i could tear it apart.

Are you going to put any detail like stripe or honda decals on it?

[alexc518]

Thanks Guys. the carbs need some work,  the jets will probably have to be switched out but before i do im gonna have someone who really knows carbs look at it.  im ok with it but just need that piece of mind.  i was thinking some kind of tan honda graphic.  very small though i like the stealth look.

I love that color green. The Bike looks sharp. I intrested in seeing what your final carbs setting will be.

I'd like to see how that tan logo turns out. I'm designing a logo for my tank that will be either copper or tan. It's going to be my own take on the Honda logo, a bit of steampunk influence and I think I'll be going for the stealth look as well.

Looks good, have fun and be safe!
