1974 Honda CB550 Junkyard Rescue and Charity Project #HondaCB #cb550 #giveback
🔧🏍️ WELCOME TO OUR JUNKYARD GEM | 1974 HONDA CB550 PROJECT! 🏍️🔧
Welcome back, motorcycle enthusiasts! In this video, we’re unveiling our newest passion project that we’ve been eager to share with you all – a vintage Junkyard 1974 Honda CB550. It may seem like a rust bucket for now, but we’re going to pour our hearts, souls, and wrenches into it, transforming it into a road-worthy masterpiece!
This bike has a special history, sitting in a junkyard and forgotten, just waiting for the right team to restore its glory. That’s where we step in! Over the coming weeks, we’ll be refurbishing every inch of this classic machine, from its iconic inline-four engine to its shiny chrome trim. Expect the unexpected as we bring you along for the ride, showing you each step of our restoration process.
But that’s not all. This project is not just about resurrecting a vintage beauty; it’s about giving back to the community we love. Once our CB550 is road-ready, we will be DONATING it to a charity. The funds raised from this classic beauty will help those in need and spread the love of motorcycles far and wide.
So join us in our journey of rebirth and restoration. Learn a little more about motorcycle mechanics, fall in love with the classic charm of the CB550, and let’s make a difference together!

Rub some T cut over the tank and I think it will be running like new
So impressed with your consistency! Where do you find the time?! 😅
best thing you did was hose engine with wd40.. 50/50 actone/atf fluid in spray bottle is the same and cheaper… dollartree spray bottle.. you could ask scotchbrite for support. Awesome idea raffle
Ride to Connecticut! Woohoo.. this channel is going places!
just keep it old school cool make it safe and keep it like it is
no to the chopper, standard forks and bars please
no chopper standard 550 getting fewer and fewer
If anyone can build it, you can. Looking forward to see what you have planned.
I would buy a raffle ticket if the bike is more stock – if it’s a chopper I’m a nope on the ticket.
Closer to stock on the forks and handle bars, cool bike! I am sure you can save it.
I think it would be awesome if you could do a Flying Dragon esque paint job. That would go with the 70's chopper light look.
+1 on No to the chopper idea. Set. It back to stock and let the raffle Winner make it their own. I’m curious to see the cost of tickets… might enter myself
I absolutely say no to a chopper they don't look at that way better off just bringing it back to closest original as possible they look stupid as a chopper
Yeah I'm not going to pay into a raffle for a non stock 70's honda must be stock & original
Definitely standard bars and forks!
Taking spark plugs
Stock or cafe racer
Nope on chopper. Yes on stock.
First and foremost, you should take the bike rescue in the direction you feel most led. That said, that chopper look is vile to my taste and would not be interested in entering a raffle with it in that configuration.
Thanks for the content!
Oh, what an amazing find!
I'd definitely like to see it returned at least close to stock! If you were doing a raffle sort of thing as a give-away (donating proceeds instead of the bike — though I absolutely understand the logistical nightmare that would be, and no I'm not making the suggestion), I'd have to admit to being extremely interested in purchasing a chance for it.
Those handlebars are awful. I'm not sure about the chopper vibe, but I'm sure it'll turn out great no matter what. I've just never loved the idea of making a 4 cylinder into a chopper. If you don't go the chopper route, I have some euro spec (low) bars for that bike. Cut for wires already.
Get rid of the chopper look its terrible, GPZ 1100 is fantasic. I had a turbo GPZ at the time these cam out/

Hi, Wow great project, ✌️😎
Make it std I believe you’ll get a shed load more interest
Chopper always. Why? Because you can! Screw the haters🤘🏻
Awesome! Love seeing your channel grow!
Can’t support the chopper direction. Back to stock with a 4 in 1 exhaust would be my suggestion.
I've recently picked up a 74 in the same color. Would love to swap out your side covers for the black repos that came on it before you do a repaint. Also have a new repo front master cylinder/handle to toss in.
Go stock… That chopper look does NOT look right especially for a beautiful bike like that.
I'm all in and ready when you are Eric! Love your plans for the paint, that will look awesome!
