my cb550 hardtail bobber / chopper
« on: October 03, 2009, 08:15:31 PM »
this is my 1976 CB550. i hard tailed it, used the front fender as a rear fender and made the seat hinge out of an old barn door hinge. so far right now I'm doing piddly stuff to it because i lost my job, waiting like everyonelse to land a new one. but hope you like it so far. ;D

i made a seatpan out of some scrap metal i had, i got some seat springs(from drag specialties) and now just need to finish seat. i've got to foam it and wrap it, oh yeah gotta finish up some brackets for springs to mount to.
