Hey, I am new to the site and thought I would post some pics of my project. This is my first motorcycle, a 74 cb550, so I really have no idea what im doing, but having fun. ??? ;D
I have had the bike for around 3-4 weeks now and have gotten quite a bit done I think.
Engine before :-[:
Engine now :
Grinded off old seat brackets and made a seat pan for a cafe seat.
Started to make a cafe seat with an old harley davidson gas tank (may just buy a seat, but I don’t have a lot of cash, so this will be a very low budget build)).
I prepped the frame a week before last and got it painted last weekend:
Re-installed the engine this week:
I also cleaned up the guages, polished/painted forks, and got some new headlight brackets and mini turn signals this week:
Gauges before :-[:
Gauges now :
couple more pics:
