"Bobber/Racer?" project #2
« on: April 12, 2009, 05:48:58 PM »
Reading Shenanigans epic journey (thanks for the read and inspiration man!)  got me thinking of going on my own journey this summer with my fiance Amie.  Her 350t wont be able to handle the higway speeds, so her new project is a 1974 cb550 four.
Yesterday i got 2 parts bikes  for a 100 bucks1974&1977 550's.

this is our inspiration-

here is what we won on feebay for 51 bucks! a cb750 tank.  i like the bigger size tank like on the inspiration bike. so i hope the 550 has a likeness.

here is the tear down!





im going to have to rush this project(8 weeks, whaa?) but after my first build im confident i can do this wallet permitting- whuddya guys think?
