Title: My New Project ! Post by: Jarrodm on January 05, 2008, 08:21:05 PM Ahaaaaa, finally got my new project bike ! Courtesy of Captaincakeandteahands........
Honda Cb550F, my plans are Cafe racer-ish. At the moment i don't have to much money to throw at it but i'm going to get a nice Ally tank and a propper Solo seat, rear set, a little top yoke mounted speedo and Tach' (Might even mount the Speedo on the Downtube), a 4 into 4 Exhaust each with a 9" reverse mega', sorting out the bloody horrible brake light and number plate and putting a Chrome bowl 7" Headlight..... But for now i've put the engine in it and greased up the Swing arm, and just given it a good clean ! Can't get any pic's up but i'll put some on tomorow morning when i get back to work :D Jarrod Title: Re: My New Project !

Fook me that makes it sound better (http://i8.tinypic.com/6kqkfol.jpg) (http://i3.tinypic.com/6y0ivip.jpg) I have the Distinct feeling that i'm going to be spending alot at kemton XD Jarrod |
