Still trying to get it to turn over but my time has been really limited lately. Every time I get an hour I have to retrace my steps of getting it started and it's ot very efficient. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

So I got new rubber finally (Shinto) and these dweebs at Cycle Gear mount then for me... This is what I find when I go to pick them up: Are you serious?! They said they were out of spoke weights, which are bad enough, but how do they even HAVE these to put on bike wheels. And why not call...

I was driving to my buddies house yesterday about 15 miles from my house. I was waiting at a light about a block away from his house and without any notice the bike dies I look down and the gauge is dark. I go to look at and fouled connections and everything looks fine. My hunch is its the...

Re: The Poor Boy - A Tale Of A CB550- Ride, Tweak, Rinse, Repeat. It's been a while and the riding hasn't been too consistent. I was having charging issues. I think the Reg/Rec unit is busted. I also took the opportunity redo the wire harness. Here is the before everything was connected with...

Worked on this beast for a while today. As it stands, I have it turning over with the starter motor and I am getting power to each side of the coils but I'm not getting spark coming from the coil. I have power to the points but the gap is not sparking either. I'm at a loss as to where to look...

Stripped Valve Head Ah. Useful information! Got it in. So far it's holding like a champ and was super easy. Still have to set the valve but happy with the process.

Stripped Valve Head Got this yesterday in the mail. About to get to work on it:

Nice, man. I love mine. It's fucking rad.

Thanks, SonicJK. I figured it out this morning before I saw your post. I have one on the way.

Hey Dudes... I was about to get a Helicoil set... I know that the thread size is 1.0 but I forget if the bold it M6 or M10. Anyone know off the top of their head? I can measure it out when I get home but wanted to see if someone knew so I could order it before tonight.

Wow, man. Thanks so much! That was a really nice thing to read and I really appreciate that. I'm a very lucky guy with many things to be thankful for, that's for sure. The wifey is more than I could ever ask for. I'll make sure to share this with her. It'll sure out a smile on her face. :)

Nevermind... Got it. That's freakin awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFYa6sjhh_E

I'm listening...

Ya, I thought of that too. For some reason, that seemed like a bad idea but I have no real reason why it would be...

Hey Gents, When I rebuilt the top end of the CB550, I purchased some stainless allen head bolts. Turns out that they weren't machined perfectly. The worst example of this is one that stripped out the valve head. I have oil seeping out from the top of the head, as I can't get it tightened...

Perfect. Thanks!
