First Build 1978 Honda CB550k - Project Ipkiss

T.Stanley · « **Reply #30 on:** July 06, 2011, 08:18:07 pm »

Overall, I am happy with the outcome of the project, considering this is my first bike, and build. There's some minor touching up to do. Little bits here and there, mostly cosmetic stuff. The paint needs some more work, which I will be speaking to my painter again shortly. I'm still waiting on front blinkers, OEM gaitors, and possibly rearsets. I'm also considering removing the baffle but I'm sure my neighbors won't be too happy.

I'll take better shots with my DSLR and a new video this weekend.

Thoughts?

No tank decals. I like it plain.

Shoes are Sebago Lighthouse in Black/Silver. Super comfy.

Thanks!!!

Progressive Suspension is the maker, not just the spring type.

My bro BK shot these pictures 4th of July weekend and just forwarded them to me. Thought I'd share.
