Picked up a CB550 and whoring my other bikes

[bissinger]

Paid $450 bucks for it. Needs carbs cleaned, a battery and a tune up (sync). I was shocked at how clean it was. Sat since..... well the inspection said 1991.
Andddd the front caliper even works! So on with the pics.

Those are all the pics for now. I was kind of in a hurry.

Plans: I think I am going to use this as a daily just because the bike is ridiculously clean. I am probably going to do a little homemade cafe seat and put some superbike bars on it and thats it

Here's the stablemates.

very nice score.

Especially cause you can sell those Lesters for almost what you paid on the bike

Seriously, very nice scoot.

what kind of front end are you running on the 550?

 

[Ease]

Awesome bikes man. Can't decide which one I'd want the most.

R1 front end

 

[bissinger]

Good news, after putting in a different battery, it started right up. It won't idle, so I probably need to clean/tune them. I think this may turn into my daily.

Awesome deal. +1 on the Lesters.

Greatlooking bikes! I love it when you mix old bikes with new parts like that front end ;D
