Hi, thanks for accepting me. I have a 1976 CB550F, which I purchased to refurbish. It came with a spare engine and carburetors and I’m using those to build a cafe racer - Mark.

Welcome Mark. I’m rebuilding a 76 550 K2. Not cafe racer but not quite standard either.

Whatever you do don’t chuck out any bits that are original but that are not going to find their way into your finished cafe racer!
