    I put about 60,000 miles on my 550F bought new in '75. I still consider it the best sounding bike I've ever ridden with the free flowing 4 into 1 Kerker headers I installed. I still have her though she hasn't run in decades and I hope to one day get her back on the road.

    @@nebadapeba2712 hey no way, sweet. Well….beyond getting it started I haven’t done much. It’s a long weekend here so I’m hopeful I can get on it over the next few days but I know for sure things like tires and likely brakes probably need new…it fired up and ran pretty well but will probably give the carbs some TLC…. If I had more time I’d film the process but time is always the challenge 😀😀 What about yours? Looking good?

    Lovely! The sound and the scenery and the overtakes, just breathtaking. Does the hand cramping and intermittent no-hands riding result from discomfort due to the clubman bars you installed? I ordered similar handlebars for their looks but am yet to install them.

    Those are the breake pads. The problem in them are little tiny copper or brass spills. There’s no manufacturer out there I know who produces break pads with no spills. Drilled rotors help to get kind of rid of the noise.
