Hey how's it going. I've been looking around the site and there is a lot of cool stuff here. I have had my 76 CB 550K for about a year and a half and have been slowly building it into a cafe bike. So far it has been a pretty slow process but I have learned a lot in the process.

Dude noel that last pic looks like its straight out of London...thats a sweet honda too man...lookin damn sharp 
Hey nice to see you from the SOHC4 forum... I think the 550 makes a great cafe bike I just wish that there were as many parts available for the 550's as the 750's.
There is a lot more to be done on my bike. This winter I hope to pull the front and rear wheel apart to get the hubs and the rims powder coated and some new stainless spokes. While I have the wheel off I will also be powder coating the swingarm. I still need to sort out my seat. The tank I have is from a 750F and I would like to take the dead blow hammer to it for some knee inserts. At some point I will tear the whole bike down to the frame for powder coating. I will also be looking to up the displacement to 605cc's. So, I figure in the next 5 years I may have my bike where I want it... LOL
By the way your bike looks great keep up the good work!

how is the tank mounted in the back? Since its longer than the stock cb550 Im sure special mods were done to hold the back down. When you have a chance, could you post a pic of how your cb750f tank is mounted to the cb550 frame in the back?
Thanks man!!
Cheers
