Hi every,
Bought my first bike.... Never owned one before but like a project.
I've just bought a 1977 CB 550 f USA.
It doesn't run and isn't registered over here yet.
I'd guess it's been parked up for about 15years.
The known problems:-
Right hand start switch is buggered.
No battery.
Throttle cables snapped. This was my fault.
Carbs will need rebuilding. Fuel left in bowls.
Front front brake need work. Cyclinder rebuild.
Exhaust silencer rusted through.
And until I get the engine running who knows what else.
