Today I got the first real start on the bike. I have to say that pulling parts from the bike was much easier than I was expecting. And the future started to take place very quickly.

I guess I should lay out some sort of a plan here. Just by removing the rear fender and tail lights you get the aesthetic we’re looking for. I really want to swap out the front forks. I like the gold anodized look that people are getting using front ends from GSX-Rs, so I will be looking to go that route in the future. I also want to swap out the exhaust, though not certain what I will do there just yet.

I really like a lot of what’s going on on this 550.
