Greetings: I am bigjeff and I did a cb900c bobber build a while ago....it was friggin fantastic to ride. But alas - I grew tired of my new toy and sold it. The buyer traded me a dilapidated old 1972 cb500 frame with a 78 cb550 engine with a fury springer and an invader front wheel. What? A NEW TOY to fuck with! I am excited.
So we begin on the saga of the cb500/550 springer chopper front- brat style rear hybrid. There is a reason I went with the swing arm and shocks in the back rather than go hard tail but I will explain that later.
Here it is being pulled out of the storage shed. It was there for YEARS AND YEARS......rusted bad.
So what is the first thing to do? Why take it all apart of course.
Down to the frame - add new head bearings
Now I crack open the engine.
Parts EVERYWHERE!!!!
