Decided to mod my 10 dollar CB 550... Project Instant Gratification. Grimey Brat.

I love this thing. What really makes it for me is that “you” built it and the pieces for it.

Seen you and walker up at s&r. Bikes look good guys!

This would screw me up. I’m so used to 1 down 4-5 up.

I like it.

That look awesome dude, nice job!

Bike looks great, newman.

It needs some work.

Bump.

Some updates have been made. :snky:

I like the bullet belt. 30-06 belt for an M60? Like to squeeze one if you have it! :slight_smile:

Yeah… this is in the process of happening…

Off an 07 GSXR

Sticking with single disc. Still need to make an axle and figure out how I’m going to make the brakes work.

Nice work! How about a smaller tank?

are the GSXR calipers radial or axial mounted? could maybe make a new bracket to use the GSXR caliper on the CB550 disc…

Radial. I have a gsxr caliper and rotor arriving soon. Hope I can make it work.

might want to throw a bias adjuster in-line somewhere with a GSXR caliper and rotor lol…grab all the lever and you could snap all those spokes!

Some current pics. Driving around withno front brake… :slight_smile:

Currently changing from rearsets to mid controls and building an exhaust…

It’s looking super badass Newman :tup:

high mids <3

The small details on this thing are awesome. Got a lot done while I was out of town, can’t wait to see it complete.

Sweet.

Machined a front brake adapter and got the brakes on:

Then I decided I wasn’t digging the ride/look with rearsets and wanted to change to high mid controls. So I built some shit from scratch (even the pegs). IDGAF about the welds. :slight_smile: Also threw on a BMX kicker pedal.

This is the riding position before:

I wanted something like this. More aggressive.

So here’s how I did it:


^^^ yeah, that’s a 3/8" socket for the shifter peg.

And here’s how she sits now:

I have a LOT of stainless u bends coming for a custom exhaust, too. :slight_smile:
