Fuck are those carbs beautiful! I really like the look of this bike. My only thing would be to use a factory exhaust on it. I think the factory exhaust makes these bikes. ---

Ty sir! They better be beautiful for what the bastards cost. I do like the factory exhaust, for aesthetic purposes only though. It’s just not practical for this type of build. I will however own another CB550 or CB750 as a comfy extra to have laying around and yes, it will retain the factory 4:4 setup.
