The Dirty Swamp Rat '78 CB550k

Nope. Ripped right through

I wanted to make a 'yo mamma' joke on the ripped through part, but as i do not know you in person and want to avoind a ban, i don't.

Aaahhh isn't it nice to say something without actually saying it

....That sucks. I guess I should have used a brown envelope instead and put tape around the paper I wrapped it in. Man that is disappointing, hope you don't think less of me now and think I'm unreliable. And if you do, well you can shove it. Haha!

Small update: stripped and lined the tank. Installed A Dyna Ignition and feels like I'm making some progress.

See, this is why DTT is so great. Where else would you get such positive encouragement?

 

[smajure]

Only Brad!!!! If I could have made Mid-O, I would have walked up behind him with a tire iron since he has no idea what i look like and scared the shit out of him. He has been great help to me nonetheless. The Dyna pictured above wouldn't be there without him.

Well I haven't posted in a long time on this build but there has been lots happening to it. It went to barber and sat in the corner like an ostracized child while I scavenged the swap meet for parts then a few weeks later took a trip to Ft Worth to have Junior help me with some cuts/welds. Now she is running great. just need to get her out for a ride. Unfortunately I am still working on the seat so its not going to happen yet. Pictures to follow…..

I like progress.

Well, after being in court for the better part of a year over child custody, I think it's safe to publicly continue my projects. I have stripped the tank inside and out. Lined the inside. Applied a clear finish to it. Wrapped the exhaust. I've gone a completely different way with the rear sets. #dinosaurburrell has fabbed me an aluminum seat which I have covered in an oxblood leather. Re jetted the carbs for the exhaust we built last year and now I understand why everyone complains about vintage honda brakes!
Now let me find progression pics

 

[oldskool]

where are the damn pics!?!?
