'75 CB550K1 Gulf - Round...3, the fun stuff

Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - TIRE

God what a tease with only one tire. Once its a roller, will you push it out into the sun and get some outdoor pics for us?
 
Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - TIRE

She's a roller. Did all the last minute stuff like lengthening the kick stand, adjusting brakes etc. Filling with oil and gas right now for the first start. Stand by.

Finish it already, so I can quit checking this thread and get back to work on my bike. haha :)
 
Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - well, that's it

Just got back from the around-the-block shakedown, grinning like an idiot the whole way. The bike runs great! Couple small details to hash out, but by and large it's finished! The "silencer" sounds killer, really pissed-off sound to it. I took a vid, but managed to cover the mic with my finger when I switched hands to rev it. I'll go out and grab a better one soon.

And if someone can tell me how to imbed this, that would be great. I've done it before, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work.

Even with your finger over the mike that sounded killer man. Wow before, but holy shit that bike is gonna make babies cry its so badass.

Hey thanks guys! Anybody savvy on the embedding thing?
 
Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - well, that's it

There used to be a button for it. Disappeared once the website was updated.

On a side note, the paint on my bike will probably be done this month. I hope I dont get nominated for BOTM. I don't want to compete with you!! lol

Best feeling in the world, Glenn. It really is.

Bear, haha, have at it man. I'm staying out of that show.

[me=Sonreir]goes to check to see if Ringo is on the members map.[/me]

Yup. Looks like it. You say you keep that thing at your house, right? Any specific dates and/or times you won't be home?
 
Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - well, that's it

So, so, so nice. Officially time to resume work on my bike.
 
Re: '75 CB550 - Gulf - well, that's it

Sonreir, unfortunately, it'll be living on a government compound for the next six months. But I'll let you know when it's back in a relatively unsecure neighborhood.

;D



Thanks saywhat, git r done!

Man, that video sucks...I was really hoping it either wouldn't start or it would sound like shit...just hoping to see some glimmer that you were actually human.

Well, at least you couldn't embed the video, thats something you can't do ;D

Just kidding of course. Didn't think it was possible but the bike looks even better out in the sun, absolutely stunning. The sound is awesome too, very intoxicating.

Expect to see this bike quickly travel around all the bike blogs around the planet, its going to explode.

Ringo FTW! I've been lusting after this bike for weeks now, glad to see it in riding condition. This is June BOTM for sure!
