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

Looks robotic…but I kinda like it.

Newman you might like these

alternatively, you might like some of the older 70s/80s cibie lights

I have been following the build and like it. Couple questions though, on the rear fenders you made, why not paint them the green to match the rest of the bike? I personally think that would make the bike look smoother. Also, making the exhaust all black would look so nasty on it. As far as the grips, the gold ones look a lot better, but I think the green and gold would look real good mixed. just my .02.

I like the headlights, would be perfect if you could somehow make them not offset and dual smiley lowbeams or dual highbeam(cross-haired), imo.

They are individual units, so I could, but I wanted to have some asymmetry.

Gold flake painted rock shields.

love the lights

the 2 lights look sick!

if you need any 7" lights, I have 2 new silverstars upstairs at the pit that I was going to use for the 944.

I actually like the lights, not as bulky as i thought they would look… one clear and one yellow light would look neat

I saw this on the gram and there seemed to be a lot of negative reactions.

Personally I think it looks good.

I’m going to make some buckets for them and see if I like the finished product. The buckets will probably add some BULK.

Def doing one or both yellow, though.

One yellow, one crosshaired/smoked!

Fresh off the printer…

I’m still skeptical on the overall size… I’ll see how I feel about them once they’re mocked up again…

:tup:

Cool to be able to whip things up like that.

nice duder.

So I mocked them up… I don’t think I like them. It could be that the blue housing isn’t black, but I just think they’d are too big and cartoony. They’d be perfect on something like this, though:

Maybe I’ll try and paint them black and revisit. Sometimes when I look at these pics I think it’s awesome. Sometimes I think it looks just too weird…

I like the pictures PRE-housing as compared. A little less bulky, and a little more industrial IMO. Looking at the two side by side it’s an easy choice for me, but then again, it’s not my scoot.

Don’t like that at all. Original mock up looks much better.

Well Unfortunately in order to get the lights into the housings I cut off all the mounting tabs… Think I’ll have to rock the OEM single for now until a new idea presents itself.
