    CB 550 Cafe

    So I haven't done much as of recently (job searching has been my main priority), but I finally landed a job that will pay for all my dreams for this bike after 2 years of heartache.

    General question for the DoTheTon-o-sphere, How do we feel about aftermarket left-hand controls, as in which ones are good and which ones should not be considered. Right now I am leaning towards these (PS the originals were cracked and buggered up before I even got the bike)...

    Alright, circa 2016. I know I haven't posted any pictures, any new updates, etc. for almost 2 years now, mainly because I haven't really had the chance to work on the bike as much as I would have liked during that time period (going to college doesn't help with having "extra" time to do things...

    VERY Long time, no post. Sorry guys Ive been caught up with school and work. Plus when its averaging single digit temperatures outside, its a little harder to stay out in the garage and be motivated. However I have been chipping away at some things. Lapped the valves, cleaning the fins on the...
