Does this belong to a member ?
« on: September 25, 2017, 07:19:36 PM »
Nice looking bike but, not a 100% right. These are making good money at the moment and are a nice bike to ride.   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB550F-1977-/182786012834?hash=item2a8ee536a2:g:04QAAOSwDshZx8gZ

They are indeed, and that is the best looking (and probably the rarest with stock exhaust) of the 550's. Could probably sell the stock pipes for nearly half the starting bid! But I'd like to know if the people that made Steph550s exhaust would make some more, and a few for 750F1's!

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

I am building one in the same colour, a lot of parts are near on impossible to find.
Yours looks better than mine James, I still have long way to go. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Is that a 500 kickstart Trig, the 550 one is hinged to avoid the collector pipes on the exhaust IIRC.

This is how the bike came Ken, not my level of restoration  ;) Yes indeed that is a 500 kick start, have a nice 550 F one to go with my nice NOS ears that a member sent me ;)
