Nearly finished CB550 K0
« on: June 17, 2016, 12:53:26 PM »
As title says ,

I have been working quitely on my latest bike . It is a very early VIN CB550 K0

I did lots of work on it from re spraying it all up to opening the engine and carrying out what ever was needed !! Just a few things left to do so I decided to take it out for its first ride !!

As a reasonably new member "what list"? If it's a list of fours homes do you want my details?

The "List" is of vin numbers cross refered to the US vin plate that gives month and year of build which means i can give a reasonable idea of build date for those without plates to see if its worth a dating letter for free tax

Very nice bike and setting. I have always fancied a holiday in Malta, the history of the place is quite so something, particuarly an account to 'the great seige' that happened after the crusades when one of the knightly orders ( hospitaliers? ) used it as a base and withstood one almighty seige by the then Sultan. How much of those old forts remain I wonder?
