Default '77 550F

What's up guys,

New member here, only have 1 bike as of now. Is the cb1100f coming or not? SIGH. I was at the dealer today, gawd the '09 Special Edition (at least that's what the salesman called it) is hot. Red, pearl white, and blue. But the orange 08's have a place in my heart too.
My current bike is a CB550, so please don't challenge me to a drag race, I like my rods in the case and my chain on the sprockets. I'll probably be making a nuisance of myself asking questions of the f2 owners. I plan on taking the front and rear ends off of one and grafting to my bike. I'm off to the FAQ's. Keep the rubber side down.

Welcome to the forum. As long as it has 2 wheels, you will be able to relate to most of us. BTW- that is a clean looking bike for being as old as it is!

Thanks for the reponses guys, and yeah she's clean there, took me friggin long enough to do it. Thirty years old but the chrome is still pretty good. And that's saying a lot, given Honda's chrome quality back then.
Thanks for the links CBR. I downloaded a manual, but just like many manuals, sizes and dimensions aren't given for bolts and other components, just where they go and how to remove and reinstall. I'll keep my eye out.
In the meantime, I've got my eye out for an F2 to measure.

Well she definitely doesn't run as smooth as one of the newer bikes, but hey, that's just one of it's character traits. I do like the fact it has a kickstart!! Guess I've got a "leg up" on you guys in at least one way. HARDYHARHAR
