Re: 1975 CB550K photobomb? Really inspiring work, especially the tank.

I got an original plastic bucket today with a lamp. (I think it's part HM-16?) Paid $50 for it. Wired it up and the high beam worked, so I rode the bike to work. Then it rained like hell, and I rode home in that. Think I'm going to take it out for a long jaunt this weekend to see how it...

CB350 update, suspension inquiry. Got a headlight. Found a guy in my area with a shed full of old Japanese bike parts. Sold me a bucket and a lamp for $50. Plastic bucket, wrong color, don't care for now. Now I can ride it and learn it (and how to ride better, I have very little...

This is a really great looking build.

I would also say, from experience, make sure you have enough gas in the tank. :-[ I had some sputtering problems last night, one side not firing, then both sides acting weak. All sorts of things went through my head. Turns out it was a fuel problem. As in I didn't have any. When I walked...

Apologies for the crappy photos, especially the one where I chopped off the front. I better than that, I assure you. :) Just wanted to document where this bike stands now, in hopes of being really satisfied with progress later. Also, I'm hoping y'all will shame me into keeping this project...

Hi all, real noob here, and I'm itching to get my bike street legal so I can start figuring out what I want to do next. In Montana, working headlights are required in the day. My 71 CB350 came with a smashed headlight assembly, so I need to replace it. Just wondering what my options are...

Sorry, I'm green at this and I was envisioning something more involved. The writeup you provided will do nicely, thanks!

Has anyone done a writeup on that battery mod? This bike looks great.

Is a bulb all I would need to switch to go from a 6 volt light assembly to a 12 volt system? I actually like the idea of a smaller headlamp, but I don't want to get too into aesthetics before I put some time in the saddle. That's REALLY challenging, considering the amount of inspirational...

Will it work? Local guy parting out an XL175, seems like my quickest and cheapest option to get my bike one step closer to street legal if it would work (bike headlights required in day in MT.) I'm not looking at this as a final option, just want to get this bike street legal so I can see if...

Petcock problem solved. I took it apart and put it back together, and I added more fuel, so I'm not sure which solved the problem, but fuel flows now. Bike runs. I'm back at work smelling like gasoline. Backfires some. Needs some tuning. Runs stronger than I expected for a bike that kind...

The bike runs fairly strong when I get fuel to the carbs from the tank, with snappy acceleration. I'm not a seasoned rider, and the bike has been sitting a while, so I did not put the bike through the wringer much when I rode it in case the brakes had a problem or the wheels were to fall off...

Hi there, New here. About me: I live in the Rocky mountains in the USA. I play a lot of music, even get paid to sometimes. I make up songs occasionally. I try to be a good dad. I had kids young, most of my peers are just having babies, my eldest is in high school. Challenging, but I'm...
