That looks really great. I have many hours ahead of me using aluminum wheel cleaner and toothbrushes. The result is acceptable but very time consuming.

Went to the barn this morning and dug out the parts bike. It looks like I have two CB550s--a 73 and a 74. The 73 is the one that started and is a complete bike in rough shape cosmetically--but since it will get painted anyway, that matters very little. The 74 has a complete engine in running...

Today I closed the deal on a 1973CB550 and a 1974 CB550. The 73 runs fine and is a complete bike in need of serious cleaning and paint. The 74 parts bike has a running engine, a good frame, and a lot of parts in a large box. I will be picking the bikes up with my trailer on Wednesday. When I get...
