Re: Re: "Traveler's" 1977 CB550K Cafe build Sean did the tank and seat....not the majority of the work. I did all the rest.

Best thing I've seen in a LONG time. Good job! Will keep it in mind for my next build. ~Joe

Thanks! Ride is okay.....I ordered some progresssive front springs and need to fine tune the carbs a bit more. Otherwise it's done. CONGRATS, Stout, on BOTM! ~Joe

Looks like this run is about done...at least for me. I wanted to thank everyone that supported my build....from the ones who nominated me, to the ones who gave me your vote. It means alot. Thanks again, ~Joe

Well, the bike is done, with the exception of getting the carbs spot on (ordered new O rings for carb inlets, and have to eliminate any and all air leaks....i.e. 115 main jets and still WAY lean.....falls flat at 5,000 RPM)....and I ordered some Progressive front fork springs, as the stockers...

You can check out his website at www.roccitycafe.com. He is also a member here. It's about $1,500 for the tank and seat, fully polished. ~Joe

very nice bike!

Thanks, Tim. My bike was purchased last fall, and the build commenced in Late December 2009. It is a 1977 Honda CB550K. I got Sean at Rocity City Cafe to build me a replica CR750 race tank, but would fit a CB550 frame.....Then I additionally had him fabricate the seat to work with it, while...

it wasn't in....until the RULES were followed. The rules don't mean $hit around here.....I got it, Loud and Clear. Tim, I request that my bike be REMOVED from the BOTM competition. I just don't care anymore. I believe in rules, and want no part in a "rigged" competition where the rules are...

Rules exist or a reason......changing them in mid stream....how is that justified? The SPONSORS of this forum expect a forum that is ran by rules, and rules are adheared to......the rules were broken, I called them on it,,,,,and I am worng? In short, one of the mod's f'kd up, and now it's...

then change the rules! I mean, I know of a bike that I wanted to nominate a bike for last month.....in the spirit of fun, I would liek to have it re-opened. please?

what about the rules?

Well, it must be worth it.....nominations had already closed and voting begun......and they deleted all those votes and opened it back up for you! >:( Hell....if you're gonna do all that.....might as well jsut declare him the winner and get it over with. :-\ I guess the rules are around here...

Humbly....I accept nomination. ~joe

Yeah, it was a cheesy~arrogant thing to do....just forget it. It's really not in the same league.....but it works for me. ~Joe

Looks like Z1 enterprises is the place to go for some jets. Since I am taking off for 2 weeks on vacation, I'll have to try some 115 mains out when I get back and see it that'll do the trick! Already.....I have the feeling of satisfaction that comes from having finished another bike. All this...

Got the bikes first ride in today! It is so lean, you have to use the choke....adjusting it as she gets warm to keep her running, so main jets are needed, but WOW. ALOT of power! The weight reduction I did, plus the 2 teeth smaller front sprocket has made her accelerate pretty hard! In fact...
