hey guys, new to the forum, just picked up my first bike a few weeks ago; a 1978 cb550. The PO had done quite a bit of work to it. New wrapped headers into vance &hines exhaust. new aluminum side markers, headlight, handle grips, clubman handle bars, end mirrors, new ignition and upgraded coil system. valve's redon 500miles ago. timing chain replaced, etc. etc.
Anyways, i'm super excited to finally have a potential cafe racer, looking forward to making this a nice winter project.
I'm having a little trouble navigating through this forum (i'm used to r3vlimited for bmw e30's) on my usual forums there was a search option where you could search in the specific thread section you were viewing. Anything like that on here? it seems like you can only do a generic google or forum search that doesnt really work.
You might have seen this thread over on SOHC, but i wanted to post here as well.
anyways here's a few pics of my "new" bike.
finished up a few additions to the bike yesterday. mini gauges with indicator lights and smaller bar end mirrors. let me know what you think.
the tank, seat, and rear sets are next
Quick Update:
i took off both fenders and wired in a litle brake light underneath the seat. I'm happy with the outcome, especially since it was only $5 at Shucks.
Here's some pics for you guys.
