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 Cheesy

As Promised, Photo's of the Wrecking !

As i got it....




Now...(after 3 hours of work ! haha) Engines in (propperly) wiring to the engine is done, seats fitted properly(but not for long !) tanks got some rubbers under it holding it on, Swing arm is regreased, Chains on, Carbs are on......All i've got left to do is to find the front calliper, get a propper tank and seat, put some new Clocks on it and fit some rear sets ! Fook me that makes it sound better




I have the Distinct feeling that i'm going to be spending alot at kemton XD
