Hi from Galway
« on: August 08, 2014, 10:15:20 AM »
Newbie here from Galway, Ireland. Coming towards the end of a 550 cafe build. When I say coming towards the end I don't mean the end off my witts but I haven't tried firing it up yet! I hope the last ten percent isn't where ninety percent of the head wrecking comes in   :)

Welcome, and let's hope when you kick it over/hit the starter button it bursts into life in the way that makes these old Hondas so great!

Some pics of the dirty old pig  ;)
Painted frame then changed my mind - thought a going faster while stains still look might suit it better?

Hi from me too.

I think it's great when people take a rough looking bike and restore it. Long expensive road though but rewarding when you finish it!!
