Topic: My 550 lives!!! - Video -

[Ryan 550k]

A year an a month ago I had to garage my 78 CB550K because of transmission issues.  I replaced transmission parts and decided to rebuild the rest of the engine while I had it out of the frame.  I also put in a 650 cam and have noticed the power difference people are talking about with that swap.  But, here it is up and running.  I've been hounding the good folks on this site with stupid questions for over a year now and they've always come through.  Couldn't have done it without SOHC4.net, thanks guys
BTW: Yes, it sounds a little clangy in this video.  I checked the oil right after I shot this and it was quite low.
Clanging = low oil.

Cheers, Joe

Thanks for the vid.

Now when I hear that clanging sound I'll know one of the reasons why.

I like the big sigh of relief at about 18 seconds in. 

Nice work, man; congratulations.

Ya, don't bother checking the oil level anymore.  Just wait till you hear clanging then add oil, lol
