Back on two wheels for the first time in about 10 years. Found a pretty good deal on a '75 CB550k a week ago and jumped on it. Runs pretty strong, but has some low idling issues, electric start doesn't seem to work...maybe a cam chain/tensioner issue, as well. Also, noticing some seeping/leaks here and there. Runs fine at speed, though and fires up on first kick most of the time. Will be taking it in to a local shop for initial inspection this week to ensure road safety and to work out some of the gremlins.
Not particularly savvy when it comes to engines, etc. But, I plan on doing some minor work myself so I am looking forward to learning form the forum.
My plan is a cafe-ish/brati-sh build...2up seating being a requirement so I can take the better half around town on errands.
Having trouble getting pics to load with this post. Will try as separate post...
