cb550f full build, influences from all styles

[vintageremains]

I decided to post my build. It is a little late so some pics may be out of order and such.

I bought this bike a couple years ago with a ton of parts and almost an entire parts bike for $500.

Here is a little bit of my current progress. I have already done all my fab work on my frame and painted it. Rebuilt the bottom end and gearbox.

Put in some hours on the buffing wheel and Did the initial polish on my hub today. Also could not help but save the hm from the old brake shoe.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find a leafspring or springer front end? Considering going that route in order to get that older more classic look to match all the copper hard lines im planning on doing. May decide to build my own leaf spring front end if I cant find what im looking for, so any links if you have seen anybody tackle it would be appreciated.
