Topic: anyone with a good running cb550 in denver?

[d3buttz]

ive been playing around with my jetting since my rebuild and 650cam swap and ive had no results.  the bike just seems slow to me or maybe im trying to expect too much from this bike. granted,  it is more powerful since the rebuild and mods since.  ive never ridden another 550 and have no comparison. anyone with a stock or even modified well running cb550 in denver wanna good ol fashioned dragrace or know of a cheap dyno here?

Have you forgotten about riding my 550?


Yours is a helluva lot faster than mine!

How about a crappy running 650?

ah hell gordon! it was great!-how well was it tuned though? your awesome cb750 seemed to be the one that gets the attention. hey cb650, wanna get together the 27th or 28th? maybe we can get gordon out on his 750 and see what the differences are in 25cc per cylinder.

Maybe he can race Al on his new 550 up to 45    Sorry Al, I couldn't resist myself.

Tuned pretty well, actually.  The only issue is it was never rejetted for altitude, but that just causes the plugs to get a little sooty.  I've spent a decent amount of time on a friend's pristine '74 550, and mine and hers run pretty much the same.

Are we getting a spirited ride going?
If anyone is interested Boulder airport is having a open house saturday.  Going to take the boy. Starts at 9 so leaving at 830 or so.
