Saturday salvage.

[Johnny4428]

I happened to be having a conversation with a fellow biker a couple of months ago and told him about my latest purchase of the 550. He then asked if I wanted another? I asked how much he wanted for it and he said same price as he had paid for it! £0. Apparently he saved it going in the skip. Fast forward 4 years and he had decided a while ago that he wasn’t going to do anything with it. I’m not so sure if he should have saved it going in the skip in the first place.😂😂 However I picked it up today and I’ll see if I can get it running, take it from there.

Ditch the pods and I think she'll fire straight up Johnny...... Keep a fire extinguisher close by 😊😊😊😊

I saw at least 1 useable plug cap

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Spend £6-7k it might then be worth £4-5k but it's fun!

That’s the value up already Bryan!😂

So, so true Ted😁

[DomP]

Well, I feel so good about my cb550 now 😄

Awesome electrics box. Get her running then just ride and enjoy....it'll still be worth a lot as a 'running project,'!

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Is that an unmolested spare frame in the background?

[Johnny4428]

Yes Ted, got a reasonable unmolested spare frame with the bike. If it does become a bike I’ll probably use that frame. Either way I’ll get it blasted and powder coated.

Not 100% sure but I may have a wiring harness for a K3 lying around, I'd really need to look though and it's always a possibility I chopped it for some correct coloured wires.

[Johnny4428]

Ah that might be handy Ken, the present wiring is nothing like what should be there.

[Oddjob]

I’ll see what I can turn up, it may be I have a 500T one. Most of the connectors are the same.

[Johnny4428]

How to make my latest purchase look good! Park next to this rotting heap of scrap! 🤣🤣

[Nurse Julie]

Did you have to use the snow shovel to get out to the garage Johnny? 😂😂😂
