Have you got a build up for that one?
What is the tank, and seat?

Sorry no MiGhost. The tank is stock 78 CB550, seat/tail is modified VFR750, covers hand made. It's a miss-mash of parts I had kicking around. This one's a few years old and a comfortable ride.

'71 CB500. Sat in a barn for nearly 30 years.

First with the CB500 engine:

Then a 550 engine, 400F bars and pegs.

Then a 650 engine swap and more.

Pile of leftover parts in the garage....

Became this; the Sweep The Floor bike. Currently working on the STF2.

Bought this as a parts bike.

Instead, it became this:

And probably the easiest one. One owner, unrestored 550F.

Some fresh fluids, a carb clean, tires and a little detailing is all it took.

RobbyD,
Do they have to be completed to post the before and after? just wondering. Awesome transformations!

RobbyD · « **Reply #39 on:** September 02, 2014, 05:15:09 PM »

I'd say before and during works too

The first picture is the bike I got at the end of April. The second picture was this weekend. I just installed the engine, swingarm, and front end.

1976 CB550k. I got the bike untitled 2 years ago for $300 and it was complete with the exception of the all elusive RH side cover. The picture I took before tearing it down makes the bike look nice. In reality it was trashed and hadn't been started in 21 years. I tore it down and refurbished or replaced just about every piece of the bike. End product is exactly what I wanted; a fun and dependable bike to blast around town on. It runs like a top and is dependable as the day is long (even with pods and points!). No matter where I take it, people want to talk about it. I can park it next to a $40k customized road sofa and that bike will be ignored while I'll have people all over the little Honda...you meet the nicest people on Honda

Beautiful job on that bike!

You wouldn't still happen to have those exhaust pipes and be interested in selling them, would you?
