The 550 is coming along nicely. Here’s the latest shot with the original tank and seat. Whether they’ll stay is yet to be decided. I like the tank, but the seat is a bit too bulky for my taste.

It looks like a motorcycle
Friday, June 25th, 2010Motorcycle Clear Points Covers
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010
I managed to snag a few of these through a member of the Single Over-Head Cam 4 Forum ( http://forums.sohc4.net ). He makes a bunch of different types for a handful of different bikes. The two clear covers shown are for a Honda CB550 and replace the stock, metal points cover. They’re made from a thick, clear plastic that both look good and feel strong. The center cover (pictured) is painted and is meant to attach to the alternator cover.
These covers fit a bunch of models of motorcycles and he also makes them for a few different manufacturers (Triumph, BSA). There should be a website up pretty soon with full model compatibility as well as pricing. For purchasing information you can email zabueloz (at) hotmail (dot) com
