Title: Newbie from Scotland
Post by: scothonda on January 07, 2009, 07:34:55 PM

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, I didn't even know it was here until SteveD from http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php (http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php) pointed me in the right direction...Thanks Steve.

I live in the north of Scotland where I have been for 5 years before that i lived in the north east of England.

I acquired a 1977 Honda CB550 over a year ago which was imported from Japan and so has never been registered in the Uk.  It was mostly all there but is missing a front brake caliper, exhaust, master cylinder and the 4 finned collars which clamp the exhaust into the cylinder heads.  The bike has been sat in my garage since I acquired it but now I have began work on converting it into a cafe racer.  It's probably going to take me a long while but I will keep on plugging away.

Regards

Daz

Welcome to the forum Daz.

Nice to have another 550 owner on the board. Good luck with the conversion and post lots of pics.
