- This is the first episode on a full restoration of a 1974 Honda CB550 four. This bike has 2,900 miles on the speedometer, and appears to have never been ran with ethanol. In this episode, I do a complete tear down of the entire bike in preparation for the restoration.

That is exactly the bike I had 50 years ago, by God I miss that bugger. My mother wouldn’t let me buy a motorcycle in until I turn 21 years old.
Going this Saturday to look at a barn find, 1973 CB550. Lady says she can't ride anymore. Has 16K on the engine. Pictures show a solid bike, but we will see..... Doesn't matter.... For $500.00 it will be a good project... Had a 1981 CB750C that was cherry.... Was dumb and traded it in for a 1994 CB1000 naked bike....The dealer put the 81 on the showroom floor with the brand new 94's. It sold fast.... my loss....Great videos... Cant wait to start the project
Thanks for watching the show💪👍🏻
Good luck w the project, sounds like a fun one!
Dude, I’m glad you sped it up to 20 mins. It probably took you close to an hour to do all that. You have mad skills!
Thank you, and thanks for watching💪
This music selection reminds me so much of bFM, an Auckland, New Zealand student radio station! Damned spooky!
Awesome 😎
Yep that is a sweet pickup.
Very well done and a few tricks learned. Good music too! Bravo.
Thanks John!💪
My neighbor lady inherited several homes last year and in the shed was a Honda 550 four and I think it has an auto trans.
Sounds like a great project! I’ve never seen a 550 w the hondamatic trans. Perhaps it’s a cb750?
@@lylesgarage Pretty sure it is 550. It is in pretty rough shape and some parts missing. The bike is in storage now so won't see it again till summer.
I'm waiting for anything '73...
Great videos 💪. Keep em coming
Hell yeah Jed💪 thanks brother. Let’s go ‘73😎!
As the video started I saw what was written on his T shirt. Subscribed right away!
I figured there would be a few like-minded fellers out there💪
Good job.
Someday I'd like to work on a motorcycle this size in my garage.
Thank you, awaiting Episode 2...

thank you! Here is episode 2, I should have episode 3 out this week
very good video, this Honda is in very good condition but with some of your work it will shine even more👍🏻
Thanks Tenshi, I always appreciate your feedback! So far this bike seems a whole lot easier than the SL😁
The 4:4 original exhaust are currently available from David Silver Spares, Just FYI
Great video thanks. I would however greatly prefer it NOT sped up : is there a way of seeing the whole video in real time ? Hope so, many thanks !
A tip for Japanese bike airboxes, heat rubbers to carbies via airbox or directly with a heat gun, then push those rubbers into the airbox when soft, installation is reverse, gives enough clearance to remove carbies. Original once.
Thanks for sharing this💪
A time capsule
It really is👍🏻
I’m wondering if this bike is being restored for a customer.?
Or is this a bike you found to be restored and then sold. If this bike will be for sale I am interested.
Thanks for your interest in the bike and thanks for watching👍🏻! This is a bike I found for sale on the internet and purchased it to restore and sale. It will probably take me until spring of ‘23 to finish it and finish the accompanying “Lyle’s Garage” episodes. Then she’ll be for sale. I hope you follow along w the build and keep in touch if you’re still interested when she’s all done💪
Ok thank you. I’ll keep watching!
Lyle, will you be going back with the original 4 into 4 fluted exhaust?
Absolutely! I have a new set from csm. 😎
@@lylesgarage Great! I'm hopeful you will cover in detail the install. I've got a new set on the way as well and have the exact bike you're doing here. Very cool that you are documenting and showing the details of your restoration. Best, Don in Vegas
Thanks Don👍🏻 I will be showing the complete reassembly in future episodes. Probably not the next episode, but soon
@@lylesgarage That MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? I managed 5 mins until we unsubscribed. Americans have no idea. Just the voice and mechanical audio please. Goodbye forever in the digital Cosmos. What a waste of so much video footage all to end up with no one watching from that 20 year old screeching soundtrack?????????? Wanker. Goodbye from Australia.
Lets Go Brandon !!!!!
FYI. no one is stealing license plate numbers from the 1980s. LOL
