Hi, new member from Norway here.
Im in the process of rebuilding a CB550K. Recently bought two -77 550's, and one of them will get customized this winter/spring.
I dont have to much knowledge about the old Hondas, but i`m learning by doing.
I`ll post in the project section as soon as the project start moving.

Thanks for the welcomes  :)
Yeah, the bikes are okey. But still enough work..  ;D
Gonna concentrate on the brown bike to begin with. Powder coated satin black lower legs, rims/spokes, rebuilt rear frame, new seat, no blinkers, small taillight, small frontlight, new tires, etc etc...

How about this tank? Can it be done...? Any similiar setups? Got it of ebay a couple of years ago for cheap $$

Greensboro, N.C. is just up the road from me!  Funny that a tank with a neighboring town's name (from central N.C.) on it ends up in Norway.  Now I'm curious as to why "Greensboro, N.C." was on it to begin with.  ???

Wow, thats cool...
I dont know the story on it, but would like to hear it if someone happens to know (most likely not).
The guy i bought if from had a couple of other similar tanks, but with some weird psykedlic flake paints on.
Anyway, i love the tank, but not sure it will fit the 550. Have to try it on and see  ;D
