550 update
« on: November 06, 2008, 11:08:38 AM »
hi guys

well as you know trying to restore this 550, things have slowed down due to losing my dad

was not going to finish the bike but have had a rethink, and think he would like me to finish it.

everything still in parts , engine needs a rebuild ( bryan i have not forgot  and eventually will take you up on your generous offer )

right , frame , stands swingarm etc al back from powder coaters, waiting on rim from ds, was put on back order for a surprising amount of time but been told comin today along with engine gasket and oil seal kit.

had a bit of work done on mudguards, pics up soon , so once fron wheel is done and engine stripped and rebuilt  hopefull start puting it back together.

hope to have a rolling shell before christmas

awaiting delivery man as of now , hope he turns up soon

cheers mike

Sorry to hear youre bad news mate, give me a ring if you want advise on wheel building, its not difficult just takes time and patience and there are ways to make it easier.
