Hey guys, new member here, been trolling around the forums, and just want to say this is a BADA$$ site you have here, tons of useful info, and tons of experienced, knowledgable people! Now, for my project. I got two identical cb550's 1976 model year. Frame is a 550F. I got both for 550 bucks from an old friend that I sold my 80 CBX to. Anyways, they both run, but the one I am modifying out is the one with the title, and all the parts. The other one will most likely be a donor bike/future sandrail motor donor. So far I have repainted it, red with a black stripe, It used to be uglyyy....brown faded to a pukey green look, and the side covers were missing the emblems, at least on one side. It has the slip on mac style pipes, which arent in the best shape, where the mounting brackets weld in there is a huge hole that leaks, but they still sound alright, just until I can afford a 250 dollar 4 into 1 MAC that I have been drooling over, or may be building my own 4 into 1 from the other set of headers on the parts bike. Painted the cylinders, and valve adjustment covers. Picked up a cafe fairing from a friend for 10 bucks, and will be repainting that. Had to get some new pads for the front, and painted my rims from the other bike, which will be going on soon as I can use my friends jack. Clubmans on the way, and led turn signals will be going on soon, already have the resistors soldered, and ready to plug in. Got them for 25 cents a piece, with built in heat sinks around them. I need to do the seat, or build my own cafe seat out of the other pan, havent decided yet. Heres a few pics of my other million projects, a 85 yota with sbc350 dropped in, it was complete, til I hit a deer and gaurdrail...now gotta go from the start and build it up better and bigger. ALso, a saki klt250 three wheeler, which I dont like near as much as my honda atc110! And a 72 honda ct90 I restored cant find a pic of that though... And my now gone LTD Puch moped souped up, would run 70 mph all day! Man I miss that thing. Anyways, heres some pics!
