Loved your build vids! great work!

Sweet. How does it run? Also from your photos I've noticed you had a different pod before your final ones, tuning issues? My first build was a cb550 and tuning that was a pain, all great now albeit richer jetting on the inside carbs. My kz440 is my next project so i'm debating wether I should...

Video of it running!? Thanks!

White walls on the front didn't hold up, so i just scrubbed off/painted over some of them :D Mirrors were from fleabay

Thanks y'all

The whole bike is shot with tremclad from a gun (mixed with reducer, hardener, all that stuff of course), used their High-heat version on the engine although I'm sure the regular ones would've held pretty well too! Why tremclad, other people may ask? Just to prove a point that you dont need...

Pretty proud myself, thanks! lots of learning involved, will never make the same mistake twice for whatever I'm building next. I'm thinking a bobber... hmmm

Re: 1975 CB550K photobomb? Thank you. More hi-rez photos from link on previous post.

Re: 1975 CB550K photobomb? Thanks. I just like to scribble a bit, ok maybe lots. It all started from that Bell c500 helmet that I scribbled on, this bike just followed actually. I wasn't really going after a particular "look", coincidental perhaps...? I just wanted less stuff on a 550cc bike...

Re: 1975 CB550K photobomb? Glad to hear! Thank you.

Re: 1975 CB550K photobomb? Instagram overload indeed. Thanks. This is actually my first ever completed build. I was working on a Yamaha 125 2stroke before but did not continue on it as it was too small for my fat a$s. No mechanic background, just like to tinker around during winter time.

Re: 1975 CB550K photobomb? Thanks! Tremclad paintjob from a gun. The drawings were Sharpie-d on, took me a while of course, random stuff as I go, not preplanned. Then clear coated.

So this happened... But first, I needed to take a selfie 100% Basement built! No work has been farmed out to anybody, just two dudes hackin away in their basement during winter season.

What program was used for this?

Thanks! The cafe will have to wait until I finish the resto of the blue one. I posted the resto on the proper thread: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=33141.0
