...sold the 78f  (in my avitar) on saturday, so it was time for a new project.  $800 was my high bid, how do you guys think I did on this one???

Looks pretty good, especially the tan seat...I don't know about the "super 70s" paint scheme...it has a lot of neat goodies for the price though.  Congrats!

..yea, I'm the same way about the paint job.  Part of me thinks its very retro, and the other part wants to barf...

I thought '74 was the first year for the 550?

EDIT: looks good for under $800 though.

[heffay]

what made you sell the 750?

the new purchase is pretty cool... i like the paint.  keep it.  unless, it only looks good from a distance, then paint it red and add a cherry bomb... i always liked that look

nice new bike  , paint work reminds me of a 70's box of choclates   mick.

..yea, I hated to see the 78 go.     I put the bugger on craiglist for 1500 thinking I wouldn't get that for it, and a guy calls me satruday morning and says hes gonna take the bus from New Orleans to pick it up and ride it back.  I have my 77F that will take its place.  It has a windjammer, and I'm looking for a rear luggage rack/sissy bar.  I have this crazy idea of going cross country on it.  Of course I swapped out the nice set of tires, and anything chrome of the 78, and put it on the 77 before it left the house.

Thats a nice find Mark, did you have far to go to pick it up ?

...oh yea...it'll be a haul.  I just won it today, Baton Rouge to Dallas, TX is about 6 hours, so I think I'm gonna do a suicide run on Saturday and try and do it all in one day...
