hi guys
well as you know trying to restore this 550, things have slowed down due to losing my dad
was not going to finish the bike but have had a rethink, and think he would like me to finish it.
everything still in parts , engine needs a rebuild ( bryan i have not forgot and eventually will take you up on your generous offer )
right , frame , stands swingarm etc al back from powder coaters, waiting on rim from ds, was put on back order for a surprising amount of time but been told comin today along with engine gasket and oil seal kit.
had a bit of work done on mudguards, pics up soon , so once fron wheel is done and engine stripped and rebuilt hopefull start puting it back together.
hope to have a rolling shell before christmas
awaiting delivery man as of now , hope he turns up soon
cheers mike
