Hello folks, I've just bought myself a CB550 K3 which has been given the cafe racer treatment - I guess not everyone's cup of tea but it does look pretty and it's a look which I've always liked.

Welcome, Mongrels often make the best dogs so it must be true of bikes as well.

It's your bike your choice we're a broad church here.

Eclectic! Never, they told me decimalisation would be painless but they lied.
Welcome to the forum, hope the bike has been converted to F2 carbs, if not you have problems!
