Looking to get a title for my 74 cb550 by registering in vermont. I printed out all of the paperwork and have been following the steps using this article: http://www.chinonthetank.com/2014/04/get-a-title-with-a-vermont-registration/ However, acquiring a vin verification has been trickier than...

Need only the third carb, the bottom of the carb rotted out and doesn't carry fuel up through the main jet properly. Not sure what years work, maybe up to 76. Let me know if you have one

Selling a never used cb550 seat cover, strap, and buckles, which are in good shape, a few marks from sitting around and being handled. Got it from a friend who got rid of his bike. Not the highest quality cover, but the price reflects that. You pay shipping, and let me know if you want it in an...

Hey everyone, I've been working on my bike on and off for the past year and have replaced a lot of parts and checked over stuff while going through it. The list is as follows: NEW carb kit for all 4 (floats, float valves, jets, seals, o-rings, etc.) fuel lines coils spark plugs/wires...

Hey everyone, I posted a few weeks ago about having troubles getting a taillight/blinker combo not working, one of the reasons I later found was all lights/accessories getting about 9v, when the battery is at 12v(I know it's supposed to be around 13v, I've been messing with wiring for the past...

I bought a pair of dual filament brake lights/turn signals as well as a 5 wire curt trailer adapter. I read the pinned post multiple times, hooked it up as explained, and could not get either of the lights to actually blink. This is the first time blinkers or a brake light have been hooked up to...

I'm starting to put the finishing touches on my bike now that its running. The biggest eye sore on the bike right now is the chrome trim on the seat. I thought I would be able to buy door edge trim and put it over or replace it, but there's no way since since the chrome trim seems to be molded...

Hey all, I'm looking to buy an it400 or bigger(it465) and I'm fuzzy on what these are worth. Looking on craigslist, even minor condition issues aside(carb cleaning, seat cover, side covers..) prices are seperated by up to $1000. What is a price I should expect to pay for one running in ok/decent...

I've been fixing the wiring on my bike and decided I want rear blinkers, and a non stock tail light. In spirit of simplification, how hard is it to have two tail lights(red, mounted like the picture below) and have them function as brake lights, until I flip the blinker switch, then one is...

Selling parts off my bike that I no longer need. Selling a set of 4 cb550 pipes, except that it seems as though the last couple of inches has been cut off on them. As for the fender, its is fairly clean except the front was also chopped to be just a little in front of the forks. It is a fairly...

Hey guys, just got my carbs all back together after cleaning and polishing. I was getting ready bench sync, when I realized my idle screw doesn't touch the aluminum arm for the throttle, even when maxed out. Although it was a few months ago, I'm pretty sure it was like that before I took it...

I was taking my side covers off to touch up the black and white, but first I need to take the badges off the cover. I have no idea how to take the little clips off the plastic standoffs without grenading them into millions of pieces. Any advice?

looking for a 74 seat strap and tank. Prefer the tank to have original paint and minimal rust, fading and a few dings are fine.

Hey guys, somewhat new dtt member, longtime looker. Short background on me; I'm a senior in mechanical engineering, have experience racing across country against other schools as the captain of our school baja team, and have spent my whole life working on cars. I always wanted a cb550 since they...

Hey guys, been doing some work on my bike to the point where I'm ready start a project thread. Only thing is I don't know where it should go. I've been told to be put in the cafe section by a member, but I'm not sure if its really a cafe. It's a 74 cb550, will have dirtbike/tracker style bars...

Looking for the cut ends of a frame for a 74 cb550, the pieces that mount the rear fender and rear seat that are usually cut for a cafe build.

Hey guys, I picked up a 74 cb550 from craigslist this sunday. The bike runs(on two cylinders), had a title, was cheap, and I've been looking for a few years now. Anyways I like the bike a lot considering most of it is there, however somebody hacked the rear pretty badly in an attempt to fit a...
