    Feeler for super mint zocci shocks

    Putting out a feeler for these bad boys. Sitting in my basement. Not sure when I will use them. These are basically brand new. Doubt they were ever mounted. Don't fit my cb450 or 550. Could use the funds. Saw very few pairs on fleabay for $350-450 range. Side question. Would these fit on...

    Second bike, More of a finisher rather then full build. CB450

    Well I am back to the world of DTT and bikes! After spending the last almost 2 years in Sudbury, away from my CB550 baby, I stumbled across this little cutie while browsing through Kijiji. There are a ton of toys in Northern Ontario, however there is not that much in the cafe area. When I saw...

    78 CB550 Headers

    Looking to buy a set of headers, don't need the exhaust as I have these sexy things. Condition does not need to be perfect, as I will probably sandblast and powder them shiny black like my frame.

    Sandblasting question.

    So I have two rims and they need blasting. I was going to cut the spokes off and put new shiny ones but have been advised against it as re spiking is a pain . So can I blast the rim with the spokes and all that on ?

    Differences in exhaust systems....

    As I see a lot of different exhausts. 4-4 4-1 4-2 and such I wonder what kind of sound difference they make. The 4-4 that's on my cb550 now is quiet . A bit too quiet.. I like quiet starts and idling but would also want a nice growl when moving... Nothing screaming like a banshee that would...
