Topic: CB 555

[Salmonser]

I bought the motor while in Phoenix. Around the same time i was given a 1980 CB750 C rolling chassis. I brought the motor back to PA and then bought a parts bike for the chassis and other bits. I'm lucky enough to work alongside a great mechanic and CB500 enthusiast. HE was kind enough to turn me onto a 555 big bore kit he had around. Sent the cylinders away to Advanced Sleeve and started to strip the parts bike.

Figured i'd post a link to some build pics.

I see that some people have checked out my build and i hope you guys got to see the pictures. I'm not as good as some of guys at documenting all the things that it takes to put a motorcycle together.  Managed to get the little fella "road worthy" in time for a two wheel tuesday event in philly. I think it was a great hit. Apparently a dealer tag is a great thing to have access to.  Open Mac in the city is LOUD (hadn't built a muffler bracket yet), and apparently when filling the hole in the case that the starter motor usually goes in with a cork is okay. Just make sure it doesn't rattle out.   (see Pabst can)*
