Hey what's guys just joined was told by one of my friends that i needed to get on here and meet eveyone, so i did. Live in Indiana racing capital of the world. I have a 75 honda cb550F that i have had for about 4 years been working on it here and there you know nickle and dimeing me to death i know your guys know how that it. Turning it into a cafe racer just got it running a couple of weeks ago but had to buy some new gaskets for the floats b/c some rust i think was in the fuel lines i forgot to clean before i put a new filter in the gas tank had got back in there, so now i have to take it apart again b/c it was turning over but wouldn't stay running i just want to ride :( but i will get it done. Just alittle about me thanks for checking it out see around on here ride safe.

Hello from just outside Toronto, Canada.
Welcome!
This is a great place to get and give info about your bike.
I had a 550 in its day, but have a 750K now 30 years later.
Post some pictures of your project when you can.
