cabbie, incredible build, and workmanship. ill be picking up a '77 cb550 and either doing a full restoration or going down the cafe route.

can you do a write up on how you do the "seamless" welding like on your swingarm for the mud guard? i remember you saying something about rubbing the welds down but if you could explain it a little better id greatly appreciate it!

This thread blew me away. Really raised the ceiling for me as far as what is possible.

Had a run on it and almost flipped it! seriously I did not expect that much power at once, it's going to need some sprocket changes and much lower bars, way too sit up style.

So first wheelie was vertical and after slamming on the rear brake the front wheel hit the raod so hard I left a skid mark on the rad lol lol (frame didn't snap in half)

Little skid mark lol

Great build, man.

Am I the only one who immediately thought of Paul Simon when I read "The Boxer".

Such an awesome song...one of my favorites...and it could apply well here.
