Hey Everyone, I am in a bind. Dropped a bunch of money into my 1975 CB550K and cant get a title. The Mass RMV is not having it. I really need a 550 frame with a good title.
Anyone?
Lot's of good points, thanks guys. I'm gonna go with the brown as its what I have been seeing in my gigantic head.
legendary_rider, my plan is a white tank and rear also.
I love the Brown Seat/ Brown Grip look, however I'm afraid its a fad. Im afraid next year I'm gonna be sick of it.
Have to call the upholstery shop tomorrow and tell them black or brown. hmmm black is classic.
Thoughts?
New Guys here..... Does anyone know if I can use another model or year caliper on my 75 cb550? I assume I can use a 74 to 79 CB550 caliper? But what about cb750 and so on?

Last I know I should know this, but do older motorcycles work like cars in...

So I got my seat from Roc City and it looks great, good quality and looks rad on the bike.
Now I just have to fabricate a mounting system. I am toying with using the stock hinge and lock.
Hey csok05, sorry i just saw the reply. Ya thats a Fire Truck. I fund my bike with my day job as a fireman, and my side job as a paramedic in the city.
Shes running alright, I ran the bike with a little rust in the tank and I think i clogged the jets. Time to clean them out and grab some filters.
So I also started installing the new rear sets and I had a couple questions:
Looking at a lot of other builds, it looks like the rear sets are back father, mounted to the rear foot peg mounts. Mine are a bunch more forward. Look right?
Only the left side is on, as I broke the ubolt on the...
Got my seat from Roc City, looks awesome and has that great fiber glass smell. Reminds me of fixing my surfboards when I was a kid. Im at work now, cant wait to get home and put it on the bike and see the look.
Yup csok05, thats Rusty Cycles! I live next door in Worcester.
So got some new parts in:
New Tires: Pirelli Sport Demons 100/90 x 19 front and 110/90 x 18 rear
clubmans, mirrors, and grips from DimeCity and tarozzi rear sets from FastfromthePast.
DCC and FastfromthePast were awesome...
