Here will go the final build picture
of the motorcycle. In the meantime, this will have to do as a starting
point:
I
bought this 1977 Honda 550K motorcycle as a basket-case on an Ebay auction.
The owner had never seen it run, and it was in bad, rusty condition.
The transmission felt good, and it kicked over with good compression, but
the carbs were obviously in need of rebuilding, and someone had put "shorty"
bars on with a cafe racer faring. It also had ugly 4-into-1 black
headers, and the wrong seat. Overall, it was in sad shape, but I got
it cheap.
The first step involved tearing it
completely down to the frame, and the frame was taken in to be powder-coated
while I tore into the engine.
Clicking on the picture will take
you to the steps I took to break down the motorcycle.
