1978 CB550 restoration
« on: September 28, 2011, 06:56:04 pm »
Hello, last winter I bought CB550 and just finished restoring it. I took some before photo's but can't find them at the present moment. Here's the final product:

Very nice restoration on that Cb550.
The idle is good. Smooth and not erratic.
Seat looks very comfortable too.

Thanks for making the video and showing us your results!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Anyone who doesn't like the way these bikes look must be blind.

I'm sure you will get some good compliments on it everywhere you go.

Nicely done.  Looks pretty sharp, and sounds pretty good.  Should be a real fun bike to ride.
Congratulations!

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !
