Greetings and salutations

[cafe kid]

I was flipping through some forums and Q & A's to pick up some ideas for my bike and liked
what I saw here so I joined. Hello everyone, can't wait to send out some questions and hopefully
help with my bike! I have a 1978 Honda cb550k. I got it for free, but it sat for 20 years.
A buddy of mine got it running for me and I can't wait for the new riding season. I didn't get to take
it out much last year and there are still title issues! But anyways I love the cafe look and feel! I installed
clubman bars and it looks sweet. Next is the seat which thanks to the forum I feel confident in
building my own! Do the TON!!

Thanks TonUpSoldier. How do you post pics here? I don't have any recent pics with the new bars and the bikes
all wrapped up for winter. I do have post bar pictures of when i brought her home, and through the cleaning process!

Best bet is to register at www.photobucket.com and then you paste the IMG links into your posts here.

You can also post YouTube videos - You'll see a YouTube button when you're using the full reply window (not the Quick Reply at the bottom of a thread). Just paste the ID of the video and highlite it. Then click the YouTube button and it wraps it in the right code.

Welcome to the board!

pre cleanup.

Try copying the "IMG Code" rather than the "Share URL Code" and you'll get this on the thread:

rather than a Http link

Nice bike!

sweet ride, those prelook engine savers are great. you could almost roll all you need is convex handle bars and you could ride that with a few circus clowns.
good starting point. looks real clean except for a few cosmetic details

post more pics when you have them.
