Hey all, just wanted to say hi and get to reading/working on the bike with you guys. I have a mid condition 1976 CB550, I'll post some of my mini projects along the way to making it much much better! Good to be here!

Some crazy pics for a photoshoot. I was practicing killing zombies in the last one ha

I really like the look of that second pic, looks like the day the first proud owner brought it home in '76...just blur out the word HALOGEN on the headlight.   ;D ;D ;D

Nice Bike.

Hey this is my 1000th post.  ;)

Welcome to the Forum/Madness!!

The 550 as a jousting steed.... Hmmmmm We may be seeing the berth of a new X-tream sport!!
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Interesting, the tank paint strongly evokes "Yamaha".  This is not a put-down, merely an observation.
