Long time no see guys.  Man do I hate winter.  I lost almost all of my drive.  The bike is coming along though not very quickly.  Pretty much the only left to do is reassemble the carbs and work out the bugs possibly a few more cosmetic things.   I was also distracted by another bike I couldn't pass up.  Here's a pic of the CB550 as she currently sits and one of my distraction ('81 GL1100).  I did a little work on the GL and have put ~500 miles on it. Mostly in Oct. and last week...
If I forgot to state it in my post, I'm probably talking about a 1976 CB550K...

That GL looks to be a pretty good daily rider.. Just need to swap out that exhaust for one with nice mellow tones.. ;)

Great job! Really turning into a nice looking bike. I'll be looking forward to updates.
