Bobby Lee Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I just picked up this old school Club Racer style '74 Honda CB550 yesterday. Its in pretty good condition for being 35 yrs old, but could still use some more work. Its my first bike, and so far has been fun learning on. I'm planning on leaving it as is for the summer (besides any maintenance and tinkering that needs done), and doing more major work to it over the winter. These are just some quick pics I snapped in the garage today. http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o425/leerbowden/CB550/DSC03040.jpg http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o425/leerbowden/CB550/DSC03037.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Very cool! I just got Terron's '76 CB750f that I'm wanting to turn into something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Looks to be in nice shape, get some factory paint on there and you have a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Titties. heres a good site for some ideas.... http://www.cb750cafe.com/ ps you have to be pretty monotonous with older bikes...fluids, filters, pads. etc. check them out now before you either have failure and get hurt or have failure and cost $... im replacing the brake lines on mine as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hwilli1647545487 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sexy... Any idea what seat they put on that? I just got my frame back from Powder Coat this morning. Mine is a 1975 CB 750, and is going cafe also. http://www.sohc4.net/index.php?title=Main_Page is a good site for resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
