'78 cb550k cafe "team shralp"

[jason teamshralp]

bought this a few months ago and have been messing with it for a while. Here are some before and after pics...

and now for the after shots. I'm not finished. Here is what I've done so far. Swapped bars for clubmans, Hammered in some knee dents, grinded off some brackets, mounted a fiberglass airtech rear cowl, fabbed new tail light bracket, and recyceled the original tail light(upside down), fabbed a side mount plate holder, removed turn signals, and some cleaning and such.

I'll post back here when I have some more updates. My main thing now is to get the carbs tuned, the bike runs very poor.

I need to take some newer photos of the bike, with some of the details worked out. I had some important news to anounce though... I have made it into the ton and up range!! Last night on the way home from work. It was also about 35 degrees out, and dark, but there was noone around and the bike felt fast so I went for it. Lets just say I was supprised, all my previous runs have ended around 97mph.
