Did a search and couldn't find a thread....

Looking for engine pics. Stock, custom, paint and polish ideas, etc. Bonus points if you have a CB500/550.
I'm looking for paint and polish ideas other than stock, but stock is beautiful, too.

Some of mine to start:

Scott, man you set the bar pretty high! The rest of us are reluctant to post photos because yours looks so damn good! Anyway, I'll take the bonus points for a 500 & leave quietly.

Just gotta show off an engine my buddy slaved over. He definitely has more fortitude than I do! Godzilla approves!

I'm too embarrassed to post mine in here, but maybe subscribing to this thread will give me inspiration for my 500/4 motor rebuild.

Okay...here's a decent one that doesn't show the fading factory paint (still not bad for 40 year old factory paint). I painted my sprocket cover black. The stator cover (not the housing) is also painted black to cover some bad road rash.

Mine stays on the road to much to be shiny

These pic are a few months old but it'll probably never look better.

I really like this one, too. I'm considering painting the case and cylinders black, leave the head and valve cover silver, and polish the side covers, tappet covers, etc.

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #17 on:** August 04, 2011, 12:14:36 PM »

Are those etched into the rocker covers? Or is it paint?

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2011, 12:19:45 PM »

Ah its just like my Buell, I keep it meticulously clean, but the aluminum on the engine always starts to show its age. That's why I refuse to make it too clean. I'm not trying to show it just ride the hell out of it. Those are nice ass engines though!

not sure if this is going to load.. i have the lower covers hard anodised on my old 74H1. looked great in person, had a very industrial look and nothing would hurt them.
