Hi guys, I picked up 4 reverse cone mufflers off CL for really cheap. I decided I want to mount them on a cb550 project I'm working to mock the oem exhaust. I realized when I bought them that they wouldn't be a direct mount unfortunately. I'm using stock headers 1.25" od. The exhausts have a...

Taking a bike to powder coat tomorrow. I've never had powder done before only paint. Going to a reputable shop. They said I don't have to do any prep, except remove bearings, bring it in and they'll take care of everything. But there's one thing I'm not sure will be a problem, the fender It just...

So I've decided to turn a perfectly good cb550 frame and motor into a bobber. This is one of 3 cb550's I have. The idea at the start of last year was to have a cb for every occasion, I.e.- a cafe, a tracker and a bobber. I finished the cafe (see pics) and have started major details of the...

So last night riding home from work I almost got hit from behind. I was stopped at a light guy behind me in an SUV didn't see me and swerved right at last minute nearly missing me. A$@hat ended up pulling up next to me and saying "I couldn't see you, you need to wear brighter clothing"...

Hey guys, finished this one yesterday. Have a bunch of minor things to tie up on her. But she's functional and turned out better than expected. Really flys, smooth ride. The front end changed up the ride completely. Very happy with her. Haven't taken her on the highway or high speeds yet because...

Hey guys a friend dropped his bike off at my house this week cause it was running poorly. I pulled the carbs and found 3 of 4 of the emulsion tubes warped. I'm wondering what could've been the cause, have not seen something like this before. It's a 78 cb750 PD carbs. Bike was running ok...he...

Quick question- I've got a 78' cb550 I'd like to run carbs that came from a 75'. The manifold I have, I can't remember if they came with the engine or with the carbs. But either way they don't fit. What year carb manifold will make this work? Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

Hey guys, I recently swapped on a gs550 swingarm/rear tire/disk brake setup on to one of my cb550's. I'm thinking I want to swap in the front rim as well, just to get the matching look. The current rim is a spoke while the back is a five point mag. After doing a little research I've found that...

Bike cb550 75' Mikuni carb , 2 gas inlets Well every system on this current build/bike seems to be giving me problems. Currently and I hope lastly I've got a leak on #2 carb. Is leaking out of the drain hole (bottom stem of carb) and out the back of carb through the little inlet that connects...

I'm trying to figure out if my bike is over charging. It's a cb550 I just finished building. Has a rick's R/R on it. R/R is wired like this- Yellow - yellow Yellow - yellow Yellow - yellow White - white Green - to alt green Other green - to frame ground Red - to post on fuse box (battery...

Hi guys just finished another 550 build. With this post I'm trying to figure out where to look next to eliminate a backfire from from the exhaust. I'm getting it on decel only. I know that this is probably caused by un-used gas combusting it the pipes. Description of bike and symptoms below...

Gauging interest on these. I've had them sitting around for a while, hoarding and decided I just don't need them. First is a complete and working front end from a 78' cb550k. Includes working front brake, master cylinder, caliper, triple tree upper and lower, dcc culb mans, new biltwell grips...

Hey, guys havnt been on in a while. Having some issues with a cb550 clutch on a build that's basically finished. Hoping one of you could point out something I've missed possibly to figure out what's going on. Bike is a 74' cb500, rebuilt/over bored top end, gsxr front end, did a neat little...

I just want to double check myself on this one. Re doing the top end on a 550. If the cam is in this position (pic below) with both lobes facing up this is the cylinder that is at TDC, correct? Assuming that timing is right and crank is turned to T1-4, which it is. I'm double checking myself...

I'm cleaning out my stash in order to pay for the last few parts for my current build. A bunch of good stuff with honest fair descriptions listed below. Mostly cb550 and some cb350/cl360 stuff. Have questions ask, can supply pics on request. I'm located in Las Vegas, if you wanna guesstamate the...

I friend of mine brought a bike I sold him a couple months ago asking me to put pods on it and cut the mufflers aswell as some other cosmetic minor stuff and change his rec/reg to a sparkmoto system. After advising him I would not do either of these (pods n chopped muffler) if it were my bike...

So I have two cb550's one is my daily driver and the other is in the process of a full rebuild. I'm having minor issues with both and would appreciate any insight as to why the two different conditions could be happening. A.) Daily Driver- When changing gears (either up or down) lately I need...

I need to find the two little elbows that sit under the cam caps on a cb550. They basicly hold the cap on via two screws. Cant find them anywhere. If someone has a set or can point me in the right direction lmk. Pic is attached of what I'm looking for. thanks
