Found a $300 CB550

I wanted to post a closeup of this because I think it looks cool. My welder decided it needs a frame under the seat in case someone decides to try and pick the bike up by the plastic fender section. The mock up is pretty much done. The tank, seat, lower rear fender, the foot pegs and the electronics trays all look stock. Most people will never have any idea how much is changed on this motorcycle. I'm going to take it back apart and Derek is going to fill in the tack welds. Then it goes to the powder coater and gets sand blasted and then I'll pick it up and use JB Weld filler to clean up a few imperfections and then back to powder coater. I've ended up having a productive summer. The rebuilt motor has been sitting wrapped in plastic for 2 years and when I get the frame back from powdercoat, everything get final installation.

the frame work looks good. My only caution would be to paint the frame before you put it all together and ride it for a while. I would be very surprised if you don't want to make some changes with brackets and mounts and such after you have lived with it. Make the changes and then have it powder coated.
 
That's probably good advice but I don't have that much patience. For everything that I changed, I didn't really change the stock locations. There are almost no brackets. They're all removed. The welder I'm working with is a hardcore motorcycle guy so I have a good set of second eyes on this. Gonna let it rip.
 
I'm getting close to doing wiring and I'm trying to get a wiring diagram going. There are a lot of generic ones out there but I'm hoping someone that has a similar list of components might have one done that will help get me closer.
