Hey, so I have an old 1976 CB 550 sitting in pieces that I'm trying to rebuild. I'm modeling it off of the Seaweed and gravel build that I attached, but I've hit a couple snags and could use some help. here are my issues-
1. I got sand in the engine from my dumb friend that decided to sand blast it while I was gone as a gift... now I need to figure out how to clean it out. what should I do?
2. I want to buy a new front end, so I was hoping that someone could tell me what would be a good low front end to use on this bike like the one from the seaweed and gravel bike?
3. I also have some pretty clean and original carbs, but they aren't black where can I get really good, but cheap black carbs
4. where can I find some straight 4 to 2 black exhaust?
5. how should I get black bolts?
6. what do I NEED to do to the engine and what should I do to make it run perfectly?
Thanks, could really use the help! I've also only got like $2,000 more to put into this... so keep that in mind.
