- 2.5l Ultrasonic Cleaner (eBay, Hong Kong). Didn't know what clean metal feels like until I dried my callipers off after 4 cycles through this little marvel.
- Full Vesrah gasket set (Amazon.com: Powersport Superstore)
- All Balls roller bearing set for steering stem ( Amazon.com: Powersport Superstore )
- All Balls wheel bearing sets, F & R ( Amazon.com: Powersport Superstore )
- SBS rear brake shoes ( Amazon.com: Powersport Superstore )
- Schwinn metalplast grips, NOS (eBay)
- Used CB550 front brake disk, calliper & hanger (Two Wheel Mecca) for a dual disk conversion. I'll make this thing stop yet!
And then I'm trying my damnest to buy a generic 14mm front brake master cylinder (eBay)... although I keep getting outbid. The seller lists the same item for $49, but with different titles for specific bikes - they're all the same, yet people still keep bidding on them!Trying again tonight for the 4th time.
Will see how that gamble turns out.
Headlight needs to move back, closer to forks. Will see if it is possible to modify the ears, or maybe make new ones.
Why the sudden shopping spree, you might ask? Well, lady luck came knocking. Virgin luck, you might say, as my name was pulled out of a hat by Virgin Mobile as the new owner of a brand new Big Boy Revival scooter!
Very cool little retro ride, but I sold it off the dealer's floor, without ever even starting it. Made the new owner very happy, and injected some much-needed cash into the CB550 project.
