So I recently decided to take on a project I have no clue about. I got a sweet looking 550 thats been ripped apart Im talking its for the most part in a box.. the frame tires and forks are all still together but everything else was ripped off. The kicker is have everything that was taken off but I dont know where to begin on how to put this bike back together. My biggest concern is putting the motor back in with the right hardware. Any tips tricks or suggestions would much appreciated!
