1976 CB550


I bought this CB550 off of a seasonal commercial fisherman living in central New Jersey. He said up until a few weeks ago he was riding it to Manhattan every weekend to visit his girlfriend. When i went to check it out, the cam chain was slapping around, it was running on 3 cylinders, had quick steel holding one of the carb bowls on and was missing all of the triple tree bolts.. he must be a brave fisherman. The bike was a mess and i wouldn't ride it down my driveway but it did come with a love sofa for a seat and 50 coats of spray paint so i loaded it up. Below are some before/during and after shots.
