Timbo45:
Hi to all,

I'm Tim and have just started a project on a 78 CB550K (not sure what she actually is cos the frame says one thing and the engine another).

I'm 45 and bin riding bikes since 16.

I've had loads of um over the years and at the mo have 4 in the garage.

2000 W Yamaha R6 track bike
2007 07 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird
2010 60 Kawasaki ZX10R
1978 R Honda CB550K

My Mrs also rides a Suzuki GSXR600 (she'd never been on a bike when she met me 8 years ago and now the Blackbird is for sale cos she wants to ride hers everywhere we go too!

Anyway I'll get to know you all soon as I'm sure I'm gona need a lot of answers.

Cheers

Tim

Where abouts? I'm in Gloucester, could be old stock registered in 78

Timbo45:
Hia bryan,

I'm actually in Gloucestershire too, Wotton under Edge.

Yes thats a point about the engine but its got an E suffix. Doesn't that mean it 's from an F?

No big deal to me I just wanted something to do and I'm sure I'll never get around to making it pristine I'd rather just smarten her up making sure it's all good mechanically and then ride.

What've you got?

Timbo45:
Ah, now having checked the log book again looking at the numbers I've found out it's on a T plate not an R plate as I stated in my first post!

SteveD CB500K0:
Tim - all the engines have a CB550E-xxxxxx format (I assume that it stands for "engine" to differentiate fron the frame number which starts CB550-xxxxxx)
