CB550 Cafe Racer...DONE!

Hey guys,

I bought 2 cb550's about 6 months ago with the intention of making one good bike to turn into a sweet cafe racer. Original thread is here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/474842-bought-cb550-cafe-build-what-have-i-got-myself-into.html with some early progress pictures.

Well, I am done and very happy with the results. Every nut/bolt/piece on the entire bike has been replaced, restored, polished, painted, powdercoated or otherwise modified with the exception of the bottom end of the motor and transmission. With that exception, I took the bike down to its absolute most deconstructed state possible. Oh and I am pretty good at polishing aluminum at this point(). I could list a lot of details but I will just post pics for now. You can ask if you want to know more about it. Hope you like it.
