Hello fellow enthusiasts...

I've been working on my 1979 550 for the past couple months and here she is at the moment.

This angle...

From the front.

That's coming along quite nicely. Keep it up.

Thanks mate 👍

Are you doing the fiberglass seat yourself?
If so, that is a lot of work.

Aluminum or steel tank?
For a cafe, i like the shape.

It's an aluminium tank mate, yes definitely doing the seat myself as nothing else would come close. It's actually not all that much work but worth the effort.

Brake disc polishing.

Spent a few hours getting these beauties polished.

[Cranny]

Polished and ready to go back on the bike.

Shaping the front fender.

[Cranny]

A tad smaller than the original.

Got all this together yesterday now to wire it all up.

[Cranny]

Everything is now back on the bike except the electrics. Today I'll be wiring it all up using the Motogadget M unit blue.

Yep, really taking shape now.
