[willie]

Im going to change some bits on it.

[pastyman]

nice, but i cant see where your going to put that bass box on it :D

[Nik]

Good basis for a revamp. :cool:

[devon-tony]

what lump is that?

looks like a z440 or something?

just out of interest, what did that cost you?

[smallfordsuk]

I like that - what are you thinking of changing - is that a mustang / peanut type tank?

[Mash]

Now that I do like :D

[baldybongo]

Whats there to change? Could you put a bigger engine in there?
Looks good. Just ride it.
Interested in how much you paid for it though.

Well spotted Matt. :)

[matthewmosse]

with 10 of them lumps gracing my attic I'd be blind not to recodnise it:rolleyes:

[willie]

Glad you like it.The frame is for a honda 750 but that engine went bang so theres a 550/4 in there.I`m thinking of changing front mudguard,headlight,handlebars and putting forward controls on nothing major just things to suit me.theres a few minor faults to sort nothing a good service wont fix .As for how much I paid its got mot and tax as well all for the grand total of £750.:thumbsu:

[devon-tony]

aha , I never owned a honda, and dont know much about them, hence not recognising it

asked about the price just out of personal interest, being a 550 helped it, my 400 chop got a best offer of £650.

nice bike tho, have fun

Oh crap there was me thinking that was a good price.What did your chop look like any pics.If I come across a 750 motor and have the money I will put that in so I guess that will help the price if I was going to sell it.I`m gonna rip about on it this summer and see how it goes from there.So long as it keeps me smiling while riding it I will be happy with the price I paid.:thumbu:

[devon-tony]

yeah I found that a 750 motor appears to be the magic engine size

i have someone hopefully coming today but someone else has said they will drive down from manchester and take it no questions asked.

I have the offer of a 750 motor to put in it, but distance and even the cost of petrol to collect it is a problem LOL

really wierd, dont care about selling it one minute, its only a bike, can use the money to build my trike, then I take it for a blast, park it up wander away, look back at it, and think, oh fookin ell what am I doing getting rid of that LOL

if the 550 lump works then just use it

but when it comes to selling it, I would seriously consider putting a 750 in it.

[beef]

my chop is a cb550/4 its pretty good, sounds good through straight through pipes,. but if i get the chance of a 750 then thats going in, just needs a bit more grunt....

and yes that is my rotty.....
