Hi, a quick hello as I have just joined the forum having bought a Cb550 F2. It was registered in 1979 but I'd imagine it's a '77 bike. The bike was described as in excellent condition by it's previous owner, however on closer inspection, our descriptions must differ greatly, quite a lot requiring doing!
It has come with a motad exhaust system on the bike but I did manage to get from him a full original system with the silencer totally solid although No.1 pipe has been hit by something and torn between the head joint end and about 3", there are no scratches/ road rash on the pipe so it's not been down the road, I'll look into getting a repair and rechrome.
I have a couple of other bikes a Guzzi 1000s and a 1965 BSA Lightning Clubman.
Although having numerous bikes over the years I have never had a four cylinder engine, this may prove to be fun!!!, always thinking that a twin was enough to be contending with for working on, (although I did have a Thunderbird Sport), my vacumn gauges are just a pair so maybe need to get a four set.
So here's hoping the ownership will be enjoyable, now onto the CB550 forum with some questions.
Chere
Robert
