well its not new, but its a 1976 CB550. $500 was the winning bid on ebay for this bike that hadn't started since the 80's. it runs great now, and has been dead reliable for the last 400 miles.







new tires, i rebuilt master cyl, new turn indicators, headlight visor, clubman bars, rebuilt the kill switch controls, removed the clutch and unsiezed it, disassembled carbs and cleaned, new pod filters, new '77 exhausts (not pictured), homemade seat, '38 ford tail light. it will barely touch 100mph. but really, the chicks totally dig this thing!
