This is my favorite stretch of road just outside of Mount Horeb, WI, as experienced on my 1974 Honda CB550.

  • Hey,the bike sounds great! What modifications have you made other than a great sounding exhaust. I've got a 1973 500 that I bored out and put 550 pistons in along with a street cam and performance valve springs. It's got 2-1 pipes on it but isn't any louder than stock and unfortnately doesn't sound as sweet as yours.

  • Thanks! The bike had a "mystery" 4-1 exhaust on it when I bought it. It was all one piece from the headers back to the canister. I have no idea who the manufacturer was. I cut off just the canister and mounted a supertrapp with as many spacer plates as possible. It also has 4 K&N uni-filters, one on each carb. Other than that I pretty much left the engine alone.

    Other bike mods include a custom seat, clubman bars, and a modern throttle assembly and switchgear (off a Buell, actually).

see all
