 Like it or loathe it, I say what I think and I will not be bullied by those telling me to wind my neck in or or get back in my box or by the petty insults and
 accusations.
 People will either accept this or not that is their choice and I will not bend to the mob.
 Neither do I collude or collaborate with any other members on this forum for those who think I do.

That’s a great job Chris.

I’ve sent that picture to Jim.

 Cheers Steve he will be happy to know it has a new lease on life as he didn't want it to end up broken for parts.

Fantastic rebuild. The CBX550F's were real lookers and a lot more stylish than the GPZ550. The fairing gave them a race looking presence like a mini RCB.
Is that an original exhaust, where did you get that from!
The inboard front brakes are now becoming the choice brake for vintage/classic shed builds because they give the impression of being a drum brake if done right.
Great job, well done, that's a keeper for sure.

  The exhaust came with the bike but needed a little work. It is not a 550 exhaust it's from a CBX400. and was a real pain to get on as the header pipes are shorter
  on the 400 than the 550

  Thanks and yes John it is the 550 it's the one Steve put up for sale I think over 4 years ago and this has been the first winter without any notable health problems.
  I am thinking of selling the 750f1 as it's getting a bit much when it comes to moving it about. This could become the go to bike.

   If its as good under the panels it's got to be worth a view. Did you notice someone had sent a PM about it

   It actually looks quite nice. Would the what looks like Hammerite finish on the dash be a factory finish back then .

Who said GB500TT??

This was my GB400TT in the same colour scheme, which prompted me to do a kit for the 400/4

   I quite fancied one for a long time but they rarely came up for sale.

In defence of Ken yes sometimes he might be a little direct if he sees things that are not correct but at least he goes on to say why. He does not say stuff like "I've never had that problem" and offer no solution.

I'm a grown man not a Snowflake so I accept his comments as they are based on solid experience of the 500 models. There is not a bad bone in his body imho when he posts replies.
I have PM'd him many times when I have had issues on my 500 build progresses receiving positive helpful replies fully explaining any ancillary questions I ask.

I for one did not want Ken to leave when he was having issues I am very grateful that he listened to other members and stayed.

This sohc forum is a fantastic site made up of a very diverse & experienced members we should allow for any individual idiosyncrasis.

  Would you care to expand on the "I'm a grown man not a snowflake "

   just over 12mnths ago he flounced threatening to leave the forum but came back stating he would come back but be hardly posting. I bet he must
   have done well over 1000 posts since.
   I have been doing the CBX550 over winter and its nearly finished but he and his attitude is the reason I rarely post now and there will be no pics of
   the CBX on this forum.
   I know for a fact others that no longer bother with this forum for the same reason.

Where's the warm feeling of satisfaction and achievement in that! (Whereas keeping a tenner in your wallet...now there's a fine feeling,).🙂

  It comes from making what some consider a difficult problem, easy for the sake of a tenner. Now £40 he was quoting in the vid that's a different 
  matter.  ;)
