i will be there for sure, its only 15 minutes from me so if anyone is making a long trip you are welcome to stop and rest here.

That one is also the retro style from outlaw. I bought it because the ad said fits low on the head and wont make you look like an astronaut. Disappointed --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?kzfg3a

How tight should it fit? Feels a little snug on the cheeks --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?dglkgt

ok, i got some new turn signals. Not led but just better looking housings than stock. put them on and no blinking, they just stayed solid. i traced that to a bad flasher, so i replaced the flasher. the swithc has five positions CENTER nothing on right and left momentary (have to hold it there)...

ok, so i went out and adjusted my clutch six ways from sunday.. no matter how far i adjust it, it still feels like it draggs when i squeeze the handle.. the 76 cb550 has a wet clutch correct? could it be the wrong oil in it?

yes, yes it is easier if the engine is off. ill look into those adjustments, thanks..

Sorry if this has been covered but I am on my iPhone and in a pickle... I have a 1976 cb550k first issue is, I can't find neutral.. It slips right past it, like there is no detent for it. Is there an adjustment for this? It makes red lights a real pain. Second is, when I pull the clutch lever...

welcome! amazing how much handlebars can change the look and feel of a bike isnt it?
