found a 78 cb550k, new project for me.....
« on: August 13, 2010, 03:28:58 PM »
just picked this up this morning, in trade for an RC truck that i wasn't using anymore

may be a find, may not lol.  going to find out soon.
appears in pretty good shape so far, no major rust anywhere and the inside of the gas tank doesn't even look too bad.
battery cover, battery and ignition are gone, front brake and clutch are disconnected so a bit of work ahead to see if it will even run.

here are the "as is" pics.
the build will start once i see if i have a runner or not (hitting up the tech forums now to ensure i don't screw it up lol

She looks pretty good. It wont take much until you get to kick her on to see if she goes. Nice find, I think. Good luck!
