My 76 550

(1/5) > >>

Peter_plade:
I bought this 3months ago.
Just under 11.000miles from new, and only 1000miles since 1987.
It was quite nice when I bought it, but the tank was faded as I can see many candy garnet brown are, I got the tank and sides painted, but kept the original decals.
The exhausts had a few holes, I changed the 2 right ones, and the left ones were welded.
Other than that I only gave it a good cleaning/polish and now I'm just waiting for the sprig so I can get it mot'ed and on the road.

Green1:
Looks great Peter who would have thought a bike could look so dam good in brown

The 76 550 was the best of the 500/550 series IMO. I suppose it is a USA import. I'd replace those US handlebars immediately for the better bars that were on the European models.

Peter_plade:
I thought about changing the handlebars for the euro one, but don't were I can find one?

I have one, can't remember it's condition but could take a look if you want?
