Shooter CB 550 - work in progress (PIX) as at 18 October 07

A few pix.

Motor goes back in next week.

looks good! the polished parts turned out great. I haven't seen polished gauges like that before, and they look cool. did you do it all by hand?

Polished gauges are simply the originals stripped of the black paint to reveal the S/S barrels and hand polished. Then coated with a HT Clear coat.

I have themed the bike on "revealing the metal" eg the brake callipers and the fork clamps etc...

The high finish polishing (forks , engine casings etc) was done out side by a talented young guy... and the general polishing I did on my own machines and work bench.

Are you keeping the rear fender and using the cafe seat?

Very nice work.

Thanx.

I intend to keep the rear fender and currently I am working on working on fitting the cafe seat. Needs a little modding and adjusting but I hope to be able to get a great looking fit through tank to frame to fender
