New member, long time owner
« on: April 18, 2016, 09:24:59 AM »
Hi all

I've owned the same CB550K3 since 1985 but it has been sorely neglected since the mid 1990s. I'm just coming to the end of a renovation of a Suzuki Katana 750 and my eye turned to the back of the garage and 'Harry'. It's a mess, and there are no guarantees that anything is salvageable , but I'd hope to get the old girl running as a retro-rat at the very least.

I've also got the aforementioned katana (Japanese import 750 S1 spec), a Kawasaki ZRX1200S and a BMW F800GS.
