New to the board, but here's one of the bike's I have in the works right now.

1977 Honda CB550 that I'm building a Cafe Racer out of, not sure what direction I'm going in the the powerplant but I'm sure as hell not leaving the 550 the way it is. Either getting swapped or built with a baby turbo on it.

This is how it was when I got it. Looked pretty good from a distance, but up close you could easily tell it was pieced together.

I rode it for a while, then it sat in my shed for almost 2 years while I bounced around the country for school, jobs, and training camps but now I finally have time to build it the way I've wanted to.

I'm in the process of finishing frame modifications, mostly cutting off mounting tabs and other shit that I wont be using, and its looks much better. Just put my new bars on the other day and this is how it looks as of now.
