Much appreciated! It's very far from stock, but I've tried to maintain the original lines of the Supersport, while cleaning up things and eliminating excess pieces as this never ending project evolves.

Hope he won't mind

but here's a great shot from Frank's (aka Schnell) road trip around the US. This one was taken the other day in Uta. He now reports to have covered 4,000 miles in the two weeks he's been travelling.

Now this is what Andy had in mind when he started this thread Im sure. That's beautiful country. 4000 miles in two weeks on a forty year old motorcycle. Way to go Schnell. Mr Honda built these CB750's very well

Thanks! Yea, I am also but good luck finding a 750 of any kinda round here. Mostly because I live so close to the HD plant that is all you see around here mostly. So even when you do find a 750 its soooo over priced its stupid. However given the traffic and all the 550 fills the need quite nicely funny how many times I get stopped and asked what year Harley it is.. I just want to scream!
I forgot to take the camera off again, I use it to go over my riding to see what I can improve its quite handy that way. So really that is how you would see it on the road most times so...

I had just installed a 4 into 4. My baffles I made fell apart so I just got emgo 17 inch. I cut the stock pipes like 5 inches past the welding mark because the reducers isn't small enough, with this set up I'm only using 1 reducer. I also used permatex to seal it around the reducers.

I'll post some day pics and a video of idling and a flyby later

Thanks. The camera is an old Kodak, I would suggest getting a newer one they can be had cheap enough if you get one that does 720p. The best one would be Go Pro or one of those sports cameras however they are pretty pricey so if you watch your pennies like I do a cheap Kodak like this one was the way to go. I use it mostly for improving my riding and to be honest for reviewing in the long Winter months!

The mount is something I found on Amazon for mounting camera's on handle bars. It also was not real pricey and works great I can mount it any place that is no wider than 1" and its really sturdy.

Thanks. The emgos were pretty cheap, even cheaper in the states. It sounds nice. Out of the box the megaphones were loud. I quiet them down by placing stainless steel wool around the baffles. It is now a deep and mellow sound.

Went for a ride with a friend in the hills west of Portland. He took this shot when we got back in town. Weird filter aside, some good lookin' machines if ya ask me.

For those of you following his blog, Frank is now starting his fourth week of traveling around the USA. In those first three weeks he has logged almost 5,500 miles. Here is where he stayed last night outside of Albany, Oregon.

Safe traveling Frank!

Thanks Bob!

Here's a shot from today, crossing the north cascades in Washington state.

There's just a little bit of road showing.
