Thanks guys! @Bryanj, Thanks!! The bike wasn't running for a long time so I will see how it feels after 2 tanks and ping you. Any refurb I plan to do will not involve cosmetics (I want it pretty inside )
Cheers o/ 3

Hello hello o/
Happy Monday! So, I've concluded *"what I can do myself" on my bike and during this process, I lost count of how many bolts I needed because I had to drill them out or they simply weren't there. Anyone in that situation have a look at https://www.accu.co.uk/. They have everything, you just need to know the specs/size of what you want. *(don't really need, but will go for a carb refurb and engine refurb probably - need to find a garage near Frome, accepting recommendations) Cheers o/ 4

Hello and happy Friday!!
Thanks everyone \o/ I feel part of the family already 🤠 I’ll start a thread to show my “progress” 😅 I am very self conscious about any work I do, and so far I am really not proud of it. But even if only to show people what not to do or give ideas, I’ll do it. I chose motogadget because I feel I am too dumb to figure out all wiring and my loom was full of cut cables. Not going to use anything else apart from alarm. I am around £700 over budget 😅🥹 But happy and I’ll not drink until the bike is ready to help with costs Thank you all and I’ll keep you posted on the “restoration” thread. Enjoy your weekend o/ 7

Hello, good morning and happy Thursday!!
After a few years without a bike (prioritising a house purchase), and another at least 2 years looking for a GL1000/1100... I bought a 1976 CB550 \o/. She will probably be named "Sara", I need to see how she looks after everything done Romulo here, I can say that coming from the MX5 club (not bad there), I am impressed with the amount of knowledge sharing and attention, and fun you guys have (I do love an oil thread (and fuel) but will not dare ever to start one). Happy to say hello and go for a ride at any time. *After my bike is re-assembled 😅 My idea was to buy a running bike that needed basic service (oils, filters, refurb brake) and enjoy it before doing a full restoration. BUT, after having it delivered I could see that the seat, although original is not for the model, there were a few too many electric cables "trimmed". I've decided to strip it down and go for "my approach to a full restoration". Includes:
Apart from that, not going to chop anything, going to just clean, patch/treat//protect and polish all old chrome for now, replace the tyres and, not do anything else to it for at least 1 year (replenish funds). *I will most probably sell all the original parts I've removed and the new switchgear I bought. Feel free to ping me about that or anything else. Thanks for the space o/
