CB550F2 Cafe Rebuild Complete...ish

Hi

After 1.5yrs rebuilding my first ever motorcycle and a learning wall more than a learning curve I have completed (I know they are never finished) my interpretation of a mild cafe 550F.  It's covered the princely sum of 18 miles so far before being tucked up for the winter. These 18 miles showed me I needed to do something with the standard foot peg layout when using clubman bars (and being 6ft4),so I took the plunge and have for some Raask rearsets which on the face of it make the riding position much more less uncomfortable. Everything else seems to be working as it should with the exception of it running rather rich, but that will be sorted when I've actually taken it out for a proper run over distance and not just round the block. Last piece to fit is the front mudguard.

Actually I think that looks smart. Not my cup of tea, but well done and congratulations.👍

Thats a cute bike, well done. Loving the use of the small logo on the side panels and the tank badges are ace. Bet youre dead chuffed, I would be. :)

Sesman:
Actually, the more I look at it the more I like it. It’s immaculate. It’s a 77 F2 too, the best of the 550s.

Laverdaroo:
 ;) ;D
