Feeding the Addiction!!!! Bought 2nd CB550
« on: July 25, 2011, 06:51:37 am »
Just got her last night... 1975 Honda CB550 SuperSport... Just over 6k on her hasn't been driving or started since 1987... Yikes, should be fun though.

Things to do today:
remove fairing----Completed
Remove rear luggage----Completed
Oil change-----Completed
bleed brakes
buy battery------ Completed

With Fairing






Without fairing






May be a dumb question but does this thing have fuses? I removed left side cover and can not see any...

That might be worthy of the "Open letter to PO"

6K... (sigh)

That's the weirdest fairing I've ever seen. Was the PO from Mars?

Is it that odd? Damn, I will download the pic of the homemade light switches on the bike.

Must have been in a garage the whole time, those gauges are pristine.

She doesn't run though... No battery, hasn't had a battery in it since 1987,PO states......

Anyone know how complicated this will be to fix/remove????


The light switches work, they allow the fairing lights to turn on ...

Nice looking bike.  You now have Back Up Bikes.  A very good thing.
