1976 Honda CB550 - Chocolaty goodness

2" longer piggybacks from none other than Progressive Suspension. Cut the upper mount off and moved it forward 2". Lower came off as well and ditched the clevis style mount. Result is a more pleasing angle for the shock and mounts that allow the use of modern hardware.  

Chocolate chassis and cream body. 

Frame is dark chocolate brown with a satin clear. Every piece of hardware has been replaced. 

Chocolate legs. Rims are satin black with new stainless spokes. 

Built my first seat pan. 

Will eventually see dark brown leather and should blend the seat with the tank very nicely.

  1. Cool blog! Following along with the Cafe Mocha project. I ride an '06 Bonneville that the PO customized into a cafe-lite bike- fun to ride around. Dirt bike is a DRZ400s. Keep writing, I'm enjoying your stuff.
