Here are some pics of my CB550 cafe I've been working on. Got the tins all polished up. I'm waiting on getting some spokes so I can lace a drop center rim to the rear hub.   |

550fi,
I made the tank and tail/seat. I made some foam shapes first and then used them as a guide for my sheetmetal shaping.

I love it! It looks like a fun curvy road bike. Make sure you bring it to RR this May. It should give a good run for the money in the best cafe category!

Thanks hog!!
I rode my black and blue XS powered bobber there last year. It was really cool seeing all the bikes. I hope to be there this year with this bike for sure.
