Almost there.

SPRING CLEANING!!! I have 2 Honda CX650 V twins. They are both the Euro Sport model with low mileage and have been sitting for quite some years. I recently pulled the one apart and got it running. It starts but does not run well. The rest of the bike is in good shape and just needs to be gone over c...

I was told to only use Shell, so I guess that's what I will do. Draining the tank every day isn't a big deal so I'll learn from you and do that as well. I don't like learning the hard way. I know all the gas comes from the same place but I am not sure what the individual suppliers put in it for addi...

I have not even put gas in the tank yet. I have had water and I have had varsol in it and it never leaked a bit. I have been putting of filling the tank with gas because I don't feel like draining it after. I have a dummy tank made out of a water bottle to test run the bike for now.

Thank you Pat: Carbon fibre really isn't very vintage is it! Us young guys like that new stuff. The fairing has a dam built into the bottom of it. In the picture It's just sitting there to see where I needed to cut it. I widened it 3 inches, extended the top half 5 inches, the sides were extended up...

After he wanted it red so I put candy red over the black, now the striping/carbon is kinda brownish in that area. The carbon and pin str...

Here is the before and after shot of my Dads CB 550. It was previously owned by another VRRA member. You may recognize it.

Thanks Dewey, The carbon was a Canadian Tire special, covers some of the mistakes I made in the paint. It was something I just went with I had no real plan on how it was going to look in my head. It looks decent from 10 feet away but it's not perfect. It is however just a race bike and I really have...

Now just to safety wire and get the beast running 100%, No point in looking pretty if it wont run right. Lots of little odds and ends and the fairing to finish. I'm not going to do anything special to the fairing. Most likely just paint it flat black with a white number plate and sticker the crap ou...

Just finished up clearing the bike today. I painted my dads CB 550 while I was at it. He will be racing with the VRRA as well this year. There are some pics of that in here as well.
